CD Tondela, currently positioned 17th in the Liga Portugal 1 standings with 9 points, are just a point above the relegation zone, placing significant pressure on their performance. Their recent form has been poor, with a four-match winless streak following a loss to Nacional. Their home form has been particularly weak, with no wins in seven home league matches this season, managing only an average of 0.29 goals per game. Casa Pia AC, sitting in 16th place with 10 points, are also struggling. They are currently on a nine-match winless run in the league and suffered a midweek defeat in the Portuguese Cup against a second-tier team, which has further dented their morale. Their away form mirrors their overall struggles, with no wins in their last four away matches, including three losses, and a leaky defense that has conceded 28 goals in 14 matches. Tondela has only secured two wins this season, both away from home, and they are struggling at home, with five losses and two draws. Their recent match exposed their offensive and defensive weaknesses. Casa Pia AC has a long winless streak and a vulnerable defense. Tondela faces personnel issues, with defender Bruyan Medina suspended due to a red card and midfielders Felo Citol and Rémy Vita unavailable due to international duty. Casa Pia AC also has defensive concerns, with their key defender Tchamba suspended. Recommendation: Under 2 goals.
