FC Porto vs Tondela – It is very amusing that the Portuguese Super Cup will be fought between the previous winners of the top flight and a team that was relegated at the end of the campaign – Porto and Tondela, respectively.
This past season, Porta had clinched first place in grand fashion. They had only one loss all season long, and with 91 points after only 34 games, they were comfortably ahead of the pack by six games.
During this time period, they scored 86 goals while 15 of the other 18 teams in the league failed to reach the 60-goal plateau. Also, keep in mind that the winning squad only allowed 22 goals whereas 14 of the other 18 teams in the competition had allowed at least 40.
Tondela, meanwhile, came in last place out of eighteen teams and will have to spend the upcoming season playing in the lower tier. With only seven victories to show for the entire season, they also allowed the most goals of any team in the tournament.
They had given up 67 goals, whereas no other side had given up even 60. On top of that, they have a dismal head-to-head record against this opponent throughout the years, thus based on all of these factors, we should see Porto win on Saturday.
