Tondela seem unable to stand up to Porto, and the statistics against this opponent are more than telling – 14 consecutive losses. This not only speaks of a difference in classes but also of serious psychological discomfort in every such clash. The hosts find it difficult to even argue for an equal first half, and such series usually weigh heavily from the first referee's whistle.
Stable and Unerring PortoPorto are performing exceptionally well this season – 11 wins and 1 draw in 12 matches is indicative of a team that rarely leaves things for a second reading. The team knows how to impose the pace right from the start and usually seeks a quick advantage, after which they control the development of the game. Against an opponent like Tondela, who historically has huge difficulties against the "dragons," this looks like yet another opportunity for a routine but effective success.
Prediction: 2/2Given Porto's total dominance in this rivalry, as well as their powerful current form, my expectations are for the guests to be leading both at halftime and at the end. Tondela traditionally cannot withstand early pressure, and Porto rarely miss such opportunities to quickly resolve the match.
