Tondela vs Estoril Praia: Prediction for the Match on August 31, 2025

Tondela and Estoril Praia are still searching for their first wins in the Primeira Liga as they lock horns at Estadio Joao Cardoso in the fourth round. Who's going to come out on top? Let us check out the match preview, team news, and betting odds to place your bets! 

Tondela: Form and Statistics

Tondela has underperformed in the 2025-26 Primeira Liga season. The home team has yet to register a point in their last three games and is anchored at the bottom of the table within the relegation zone. However, they still have an opportunity to escape the danger zone with just one point separating them from safety.

The Gold and Greens' opening match in the Primeira Liga was against Braga. As expected, the team suffered a convincing 3-0 away defeat. This was followed by a narrow 1-0 home defeat against Famalicao before being thrashed 3-0 on the road by Benfica recently.

The reason behind their downfall in the early stages of the current Primeira Liga campaign have been well-reported. Lack of creativity in the final third has been the root problem. It has to be mentioned that they are one of two teams in the league that have yet to find the back of the net.

Tondela: Lineups

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-3-3): Bernardo; Manso, Silva Alfonso, Marques, Maviram; Hodge, Tavares, Rodriguez; Pedro Maranhao, Miro, Yarlen. 

⛔️ Out: Cicero (injury).

👤 Head coach: Ivo Vieira.

Estoril Praia: Form and Statistics

Estoril Praia are also searching for their first league win after failing to impress in their first two matches in the Primeira Liga. Currently, they are in 13th place in the league standings and have maintained a one-point cushion over the relegation zone.

The Canaries' opening match saw them clinch their first point of the season by playing to a 1-1 home draw against Estrela Amadora. In the second round, they suffered a 3-2 away defeat against Vitoria de Guimaraes despite taking the lead in the first 19 minutes.

With the international break fast approaching, Estoril are out to register their first league win. That can be achievable considering they have won four of their last six away matches against Tondela.

Estoril Praia: Lineups

🔖 Probable Starting XI (3-4-3): Robles; Amaral, Bacher, Boma; Parente, Lominadze, Holsgrove, P. Carvalho; J. Carvalho, Begraoui, Guitane. 

⛔️ Out: Jandro (inactive), Xeka (injury).

👤 Head coach: Ian Cathro.

Tondela vs Estoril Praia match prediction 31 August 2025

The last meeting between these two sides in the Primeira Liga was in 2022. Estoril Praia managed to come out on top at home in a narrow 1-0 victory. That result marked their second league win against Tondela during that season. In fact, the visitors are on an eight-match winning streak in this fixture, and I'm confident that they will manage to get their first league win this Sunday.

Tondela may have the advantage of playing at home, but I don't see them being a threat. They have lost three league games, and that without scoring a single goal. I'm expecting a similar display in the final third from them, which could lead to their downfall in this fixture. That said, I'm confidently backing Estoril Praia to win full-time.
