CD Santa Clara stunned defending champions Sporting CP last time out with two late goals to win 3-2. New permanent manager Mario Silva has big shoes to fill off the back of that result from Tiago Sousa's last game in temporary charge. CD Tondela will also be full of confidence heading into this match after reaching the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup with an extra-time win over Rio Ave. They are now unbeaten in three in all competitions. 2:1
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Santa Clara's last 8 games (Liga NOS). Santa Clara have won their last 3 home matches (Liga NOS). Tondela have failed to win 10 of their last 11 away matches (Liga NOS). Santa Clara have won with a 1 goal margin in their last 3 home matches (Liga NOS).
Tiago Sousa's spell as club caretaker is over with Mario Silva appointed new Santa Clara manager. Few changes are expected from the team that started against Sporting. Mikel Villanueva has completed his suspension and is pushing for an immediate recall for the hosts, while Luiz Felipe and Rafael Ramos are also available again. Dadashov once again made an impact off the bench last time out and he will hope to be rewarded with a start here. Pedro Trigueira will likely regain his place in goal, relegating Babacar Niasse to the bench. Juan Manuel Boselli will take Jhon Murillo's place on the wing after his departure from the club this month.
