Santa Clara - Tondela betting tips and odds

Santa Clara are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Tondela may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The odds are stacked heavily against Tondela here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Santa Clara are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.50.

Santa Clara’s previous performance at Estádio de São Miguel ended in an astounding 3:2 victory over Sporting CP . The balance of power was heavily against them and even the most optimistic of fans wouldn’t hope for much. The first half was rather indecisive – but a deciding goal in the second half brought them a narrow but impactful victory (3:2).

Tondela’s previous away game versus Boavista was fairly uneventful, which isn’t necessarily bad for them. Considering their victory was priced at odds of 2.07 with most top bookmakers online, things were expected to go much worse for them.

Santa Clara can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 8 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Tondela. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Earlier in the season, Santa Clara lost an away game against Tondela, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 1.91 odds for a home win in mind.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.20 odds offered at William Hill.
