Match preview: Braga vs Tondela

Braga and Tondela will meet at Braga Municipal Stadium in what is the opening round of the Primeira Liga. The teams have clashed recently on only two occasions: on 20 February 2022, when Sporting Braga won 1-0, and on 20 September 2021, when Sporting Braga triumphed 3-1. The home advantage could be significant here, given that Braga tends to perform much better at home compared to their away games.

Team analysis: Braga

The home side enters this season following a 4th place finish last term. Braga’s home advantage is prominent, as their last 30 matches have resulted in 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses away, with 15 goals scored and 15 conceded. In contrast, they have achieved 9 wins, 5 draws, and only 1 loss at home, where they scored 27 goals while conceding just 12. They arrive at this match following an away victory against CFR Cluj, winning 2-1. In their last 10 home games across all competitions, Braga has claimed 8 wins and drawn 2. Although defensive solidity has been a challenge—conceding in 7 of their last 10 matches—their attack has thrived, scoring in 8 of those 10 games. Notably, they have only been able to come back from a losing position in 1 of the last 5 matches after conceding the first goal.

The Sporting Braga team approaches this first-round duel against Tondela following an impressive result in Romania during a European League qualifier. Carlos Vicens is at the helm of this new phase for Sporting Braga, and if he adapts swiftly to Portuguese football, this side could turn out to be even stronger than in prior seasons. It is worth noting that the team is still adjusting to the new tactics, which is perfectly normal. This championship opener is at home, facing the newly promoted Tondela, making them favourites. However, one cannot overlook the fact that the “Minho warriors” are amidst an essential transitional phase, having faced tough Romanian opposition in their last outing.

Team analysis: Tondela

The visiting team makes its debut this season after finishing at the top of the table last term, securing promotion. This team is relatively unaffected by home advantage, with similar performances at home and away. Their past 30 games show 6 wins, 7 draws, and 2 losses away, with a total of 23 goals scored and 15 conceded. At home, they have recorded 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, netting 25 goals and conceding 15. They arrive at this fixture after a 2-0 win over Union de Leiria. In their last 10 outings across all competitions, Tondela has secured 4 wins, 5 draws, and just 1 loss. While their defence has been shaky, allowing goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, their attack appears to be potent, scoring in 9 of those 10 games. In 15 contests, they have managed only 1 comeback from behind after conceding first.

Tondela is returning to the elite of Portuguese football and has had a strong pre-season, winning 3 of 4 matches while also recording a draw. Ivo Vieira, the coach, is regarded as the right choice for this team moving forward. Once considered one of the most promising managers in the top tier of Portuguese football, this champion of the second league has demonstrated good organisation. Given their positive form, Tondela appears capable of going to Braga and contending for a respectable result.
