Team News
Tondela
Natxo González disappointed with the performance of this Tondela last time out and is likely to ring the changes here.
Ricardo Alves, who has played well at left back, could replace Filipe Ferreira, whilst António Xavier is expected to feature on the right wing in place Murillo.
Pepelu and João Pedro will miss next weekend's match if they were booked, so González could replace one of them with Jaquité in the engine room.
Braga
Nuno Sequeira, Rolando and Vitor TORMENA still injured and will not show on Monday.
Galeno could start on the left wing, which will move in front of Ricardo Horta, while relegating Palhinha to the bench.
Tondela vs Braga: Predictions
Braga is the main form now. The latest defeat of Sporting means they have a chance to get third place if they win the remaining matches. Of the 16 games on the road they have 8 wins and 6 defeats.
Last home game against Ferreira was their first victory in four previous attempts. But they have always been dominant in the last meeting with the opposition. So we can see the giant home with three points in this match.
Although visitors are good at scoring goals, they have been prone to mistakes at the back. Especially in away matches they have conceded more than at home.
The main part of the purpose for which they have been given came in a match at this ground. The hosts had found the back of the net against toppers Porto in the final game.
If they get a goal past the best defense in the country, they can repeat it against Braga sure. So, I support the visitors to win with both teams scoring.
Tondela vs Braga: Betting Tips
Braga win @ 1.62 (5/8).
Both teams scored @ 1.80 (4/5).
