Tondela welcome Penafiel on Sunday, Dec 6 at 6:00 PM in a Liga 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Tondela come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Penafiel, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 1D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Tondela head into this on the back of a defeat, while Penafiel arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, Tondela face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Penafiel have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Tondela won 2–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Tondela a slight edge, but Penafiel are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
