- In recent times, Moreirense have won one and drawn one of the last two H2H meetings between these sides.
- Moreirense have won four, drawn one and lost two of their seven home league games this season.
- Tondela have won just two of their eight away Primeira Liga fixtures so far, losing five.
Moreirense are middle-of-the-pack and getting better
Moreirense returned to winning form last weekend with an impressive 2-0 away victory over AVS Futebol SAD after a 0-4 home defeat to Benfica in midweek last week. The hosts now sit 7th in the Primeira Liga 2025/2026 table with 24 points after 16 games, a more than respectable return in what is proving to be a closely fought battle. For those looking for the best approach to this match, our Moreirense vs CD Tondela preview will provide detailed insights ahead of kickoff.
The hosts haven’t enjoyed the best of fortunes at home in recent weeks, failing to win either of their last two home games. New boss Vasco Botelho da Costa has put together a compact and disciplined team that is pragmatic and hard to beat, and has instilled a shape focused on defensive organization and rapid transitions since taking charge on June 5, 2025.
The Auverts have been poor travellers
With a strong home record to defend, Moreirense have looked solid at home this season with four home victories (4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses). This Moreirense vs CD Tondela prediction is influenced in part by the hosts’ ability to control games and their record of conceding 11 times in seven home games, showing that the team can be opened up from time to time, but their disciplined midfield has been excellent at winning the ball and triggering fast transitions to feed danger man Guilherme Schettine up front.
Tondela sit in 17th with just 12 points after 16 matches and new boss Cristiano Bacci, who arrived on November 13th, 2025, has not had a particularly easy time of it so far. The Auverts are in poor form overall (W1, L4), and they’ve been dreadful away, with two wins and five defeats in eight away games.
Tondela are a low-scoring side
Tondela will sit back and try to remain compact in their deep block, looking to pounce on mistakes or to take advantage of their set pieces and quick breaks if the opposition run out of patience.
They will be hoping that danger man Pedro Henryque, their top scorer in the league with three goals in 16 appearances, can provide a spark, but he will need some help.
Moreirense have the form edge here and the advantage of playing at home, so it will take a significant leap in form for Tondela to get anything from this game. This is why our Moreirense vs CD Tondela prediction points strongly in favor of the home side grabbing all three points. For punters searching for value, the best approach would be to look at Moreirense vs CD Tondela betting tips which favor a low-scoring encounter, with an Under 2.5 goals selection at 1.73 and odds of 3.63 on the visitors.
