Porto - CD Tondela Predictions and Betting Tips

This is the strongest straight side on your list. Porto are top with 76 points, Tondela are 17th with 21, and the gap in quality and consistency is huge. Porto’s recent results are 3-1 at Estoril, 1-1 vs Nottingham Forest, 2-2 vs Famalicão, 2-1 at Braga, 2-0 vs Stuttgart. Tondela’s recent form is 2-2 vs Gil Vicente, 0-5 at Vitória, 0-0 vs AVS, 0-1 vs Rio Ave, 2-2 vs Santa Clara. FotMob also notes Porto have kept the most clean sheets in the league, with 18. The head-to-head is extremely one-sided. Porto won the reverse fixture 2-0 away in December, and FotMob lists the broader recent series as 16 Porto wins, 1 Tondela win, 1 draw, adding that Porto have not lost to Tondela in their last 16 meetings. Porto do have injuries — Martim Fernandes, Samu Omorodion Aghehowa, Luuk de Jong and Nehuén Pérez are listed out — and they also have a Europa League return leg at Nottingham Forest on 16 April, so this is not a perfect scheduling spot. Even so, the structural edge is massive. The professional play is simply Porto to win. I do not need extra risk here. Porto are still the league leaders, they are much stronger at both ends, and Tondela’s attack has been modest all season, with Pedro Maranhão their top scorer on 6 goals compared with Samu Aghehowa’s 13 for Porto. This is the best anchor on the card.
