Famalicão v Tondela: top-half momentum meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Famalicão host Tondela in Liga Portugal on Sunday, 25 January 2026 at the Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho, with the hosts pushing to consolidate a top-half place and the visitors chasing precious points in their survival bid.

Famalicão took the reverse fixture in August with a 1-0 away win and arrive seventh in the table on 26 points. Tondela sit 17th with 12 points and need a response to keep pace in the battle at the bottom.

The hosts' league form has been mixed but includes a 1-0 victory at Santa Clara last weekend and a 4-0 home win over Estoril in December. Tondela have lost four of their last five league games, the exception a 3-1 home win over Arouca, and were edged 1-0 by Braga last time out.

Season trends point to clear routes. Famalicão have kept nine clean sheets and conceded only 14 league goals, with six headed goals for and strong crossing efficiency from open play at 25.96%. Tondela have scored 12 and conceded 30, but they've taken nine penalties with a 44.4% conversion rate, so pressure in the box could be one avenue. For the hosts, creators such as Gustavo Sá and Yassir Zabiri, each on four league goals, may carry the attacking threat.

A home win would lift Famalicão to 29 points and could tighten the gap to the European qualification places. Victory for Tondela would move them to 15 points and could haul them closer to the relegation play-off spot and safety.
