Benfica are currently sitting at the 8th position on the log, while Tondela are at the 16th position and struggling to get out of the relegation zone. Tondela are separated by the two bottom-placed teams, Academia de Coimbra and Moreirense, by an interval of one point. If Tondela lose their home game against Benfica, they will sink further into the relegation zone.
A humiliated Benfica will come all out looking for the first win in their last two matches having lost to Galatasaray of Turkey in their previous UEFA Champions League match and at home against Sporting. On the other hand, Tondela have a higher confidence level having held 9th placed Arouca to a 1-1 draw at home over the weekend. Before the 1-1 draw with Arouca, Tondela had lost their last three matches against Victoria S.C, Estoril and Maritimo.
Before the 3-0 defeat to Sporting, Benfica’s most recent win was against Atletico Madrid at home back in late September. Benfica will hope to regain their momentum and boost their moral by beating Tondela as they look forward to hosting Turkish giants Galatasaray at home next week. Referee Fabio Verissimo will officiate the match on Friday.
