Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Famalicao will look to build on back-to-back wins over Moreirense and Maritimo when they take on Tondela on Matchday 24. Famalicao are determined to secure yet another Primeira Liga survival, and they are seen as favourites to win Sunday’s match. Both Heriberto Tavares and Diogo Figueiras are pushing for recalls following their recent positive tests for coronavirus. You should know that Famalicao are undefeated in the previous four home fixtures.
Tondela, on the other hand, aim to escape the relegation zone. The visitors are on a three-game losing run in the Portuguese top flight, and given their difficulties in front of goal, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. Philip Tear has recovered from coronavirus, while Jota Goncalves continues to miss out with injury for the visiting team.
