Tondela is returning to the elite after three seasons in the second division and will certainly have a thirst to prove themselves. However, history is not on their side in direct clashes - nine defeats in the last ten matches against Sporting Braga, including a 3-1 loss in their last visit here, is an extremely strong advantage in their direct duels.
The home factor is on Braga's sideBraga is already in a game rhythm after the Europa League qualifiers, where they eliminated Cluj and Levski, although it cannot be said that they shine offensively. Still, the team easily scores at home against this opponent, scoring at least three goals in three of the last four home matches.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreExpectations are for an open match, in which both teams will find their way to the net. Tondela has the motivation to leave a mark on their return, and Braga has enough offensive power to respond appropriately.
