Tondela vs Vitoria Setubal Prediction 9 January 2018
On January 9 2018 at 19:00 at the Estadio Joao Cardoso in Tondela in the upcoming match of the Portuguese Primeira Liga the local Tondela are playing against their guests Vitoria Setubal.
In the previous season Tondela hardly managed to avoid relegation and they only did it due to a better goal difference compared to the team which relegated. In the current season they managed to improve their conditions and cooperation. As a result, after 16 matches already played since the start of the championship Tondela won five times, drew three times and lost eight times with 19:26 goal difference. Their 18 points gained let them stay on the 10th position in the table and still they are just 6 points above the relegation zone.
As for Setubal, they, in their turn, keep going down in the table. They are obviously no successful enough and their defense is really-really unreliable. In their 16 matches played since the start of the Primeira Setubal won twice, drew five times and lost nine times with 15:31 goal difference. They have only gained 11 points in those games leave Setubal on the last place in the table of the Primeira and they are obviously the worse team of the league now. As for their away games, Setubal only gained one single point in their 7 away games played.
The results of the latest games played between the teams don’t show any obvious advantage of any team where they both won a few times. At the moment Tondela are much better in the national championship compared to Setubal and especially Setubal in their away matches. All of the facts mentioned above make us think that the hosts are much more likely to win in the upcoming match and strengthen their position in the middle of the standings.
