Boavista
Tondela and Boavista square off against each other at Estadio Joao Cardoso in what is expected to be a close game. Tondela failed to spoil Benfica’s party in Lisbon at the weekend, with the team suffering their seventh defeat of the season. The Yellow-Greens are eager to escape the danger zone in the Primeira Liga table, and it has to be noted that they are eyeing their fourth home win of the season. Boavista, on the other hand, failed to win the previous nine games in all competitions.
The Black and Whites from Porto share the spoils with the likes of Maritimo and Santa Clara in the previous two league fixtures, and they are surely capable of holding Tondela to a draw at Estadio Joao Cardoso. Both Barbosa and Sousa remained quarantined for the hosts, while Reisinho misses the game with injury for the visitors.
