Sporting CP vs Tondela Betting Tips: Sporting and Over 2.5 Goals

In the upcoming Taca de Portugal contest on Tuesday, Sporting’s excellent form in the past month and in home matches suggests a likely high-scoring home victory.

This season, the hosts boast an impressive record at the Estádio José Alvalade, with 13 victories and only one loss out of 14 matches. Furthermore, in ten of these games, a minimum of three goals were scored.

Sporting has won five consecutive matches, scoring a total of 14 goals, since their 3:2 road defeat at Vitoria Guimaraes in early December.

In this tournament, Sporting has emerged victorious in nine out of their last ten home games. In their six latest TDL encounters in Lisbon, they have scored at least three goals.

Currently ranked sixth in the Segunda Division, Lisbon is set to travel to Tondela. However, their recent form hasn’t been the best, with only one victory in their last five matches.

Tondela has remained undefeated in their last seven away games, managing to score at least one goal in 11 of their last 12 matches on the road. I anticipate they might pose some challenges for a Sporting team that has been struggling to keep clean sheets. Rúben Amorim’s team has only managed to maintain a clean sheet in three out of their last 13 matches.

Ultimately, a home win with at least three goals scored seems the most likely outcome but don´t be surprised to see the visitors get on the scoresheet.
