Prediction: 2-2
Belenenses
Tondela and Belenenses go head to head at Estadio Joao Cardoso in the Primeira Liga round 32. Tondela are six points behind the Conference League berth, meaning that they have slim chances of representing Portugal in European competitions next season. The Yellow-Greens are on a three-game winless run in the elite division, and, taking everything into account, home win should not be considered.
Boss Paco Ayestaran should have a full squad to choose from. Belenenses, on the other hand, are five points behind the Conference League places. Anyhow, both sides should be with guards down in Tuesday’s match, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. Henrique returns from suspension for the visiting team, while Kau remains on the sidelines through injury. In the first half of the season Belenenses recorded a 2-0 win over Tondela.
Highlighted Player (Jhon Murillo):
Jhon Murillo is a Venezuela international who was born in El Nula on November 21, 1995. After spending his youth career at San Camilo and Alto Apure, Murillo started playing for Zamora at the senior level.
The Venezuelan forward scored 19 goals in 59 appearances for el Blanquinegro before joining the famous Portuguese club Benfica. However, Murillo did not see any game action at Benfica in Primeira Liga as he was immediately sent on loan to Tondela. After ending his loan spell with the Auriverdes, Jhon Murillo signed a loan deal with Turkish club Kasimpasa in the 2017/2018 season.
In 2018 he returned to Tondela, signing a permanent contract with the Portuguese outfit. Speaking of his international career, the Tondela winger made his Venezuela debut on February 11, 2015, in a friendly against Honduras, scoring the winner on his debut. His primary position is left winger, but he is capable of producing excellent performances as a centre-forward as well.
