Under 2.5 goals at Tondela vs Torreense 8/11 for Thursday’s Portugal League Cup tie

Competition: Portugal League Cup

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

In what could be a cagey affair on Thursday night, Tondela will host Torreense when both sides turn their attention back to Portugal’s League Cup.

Starting with the hosts, last seen once again having to settle for a single point, Tondela have gained a reputation as a real stalemate specialist. In their 13 Liga Pro matchups so far this season, they have recorded just three wins, nine draws and a single defeat, scoring 17 and conceding 13 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 18, they currently find themselves sat 10th in the standings and just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate at home against Estoril, Tondela have now settled for a single point in five of their previous six matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Thursday’s hosts have seen eight of their last nine contests finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, continuing on what has been a downbeat run of form, Torreense will be desperate to pick up a League Cup boost here. In their 13 Liga Pro matchups so far this season, they have recorded three wins, one draw and nine defeats, scoring seven and conceding 17 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 10, they currently find themselves sat down in 15th and holding just a two-point advantage from slipping into the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against Academico Viseu, that is the only point that Torreense have collected from their last four matchups across all formats. Likewise, with Thursday’s guests seeing each of those four contests finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome in midweek.
