CD Tondela were able to survive SC Braga's attack for 80 minutes, but that wasn't enough for them to earn a point from their trip to the 'Pedreira', as they ended up losing 3-1. Pako Ayesterán's men are currently bottom of the table with only three points. FC Famalicão should be confident heading into Saturday after beating FC Penafiel 5-0 in the League Cup and will look to bring that efficacy to this match as they look to claim their first three points of the season. The visitors' recent results in the league are misleading, as they've been performing well and will likely get the upper hand over an opponent that's been far from impressive. 1:2
Modibo Saignan is a doubt for Saturday. Ricardo Alves will deputise if he fails to recover. Renat Dadashov scored against SC Braga and could get the nod over Daniel dos Anjos here. Either Juan Manuel Boselli or Agra will feature out wide, with Murillo starting on the opposite flank. Alex Nascimento is enjoying a good run of form and will probably pair up with Penetra at the heart of the defence once again despite the return of Dylan Batubinsika. Pedro Marques scored a brace against FC Penafiel in midweek and will compete with Banza to start up front.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Tondela's last 7 games (Liga NOS). Tondela have lost 8 of their last 9 matches (Liga NOS). Famalicao have drawn their last 3 matches (Liga NOS).
