Ivo Vieira is confident in Tondela for the match against Benfica, despite the poor results the Beira team has had so far in the Portuguese league. The two teams will face each other this Saturday, August 23, at 8:30 pm, at Estádio da Luz, in a match counting for the third round of Liga Portugal Betclic. Bruno Lage has already previewed the match.
Tondela has suffered two defeats in the league, without managing to score any goals so far. Ivo Vieira believes the situation will change: "The team has produced enough to, at the very least, score goals. We haven't managed it yet, but we will keep trying to make it happen."
"I think what the team has done so far deserved a bit more, in terms of goals and points. We will try to fight for the game in search of success," said Ivo Vieira, thus aiming for the team's first points of the season in the match against Benfica, at Estádio da Luz.
Asked whether Benfica might be 'wounded' by their participation in the Champions League play-off, something that increases the number of games at this stage of the season, Ivo Vieira replied: "Benfica has more than enough resources to field a very strong team".
"We have to focus on what Tondela can do and try to attack as much as possible", concluded Ivo Vieira, wrapping up the preview of the match against Benfica. The game will take place this Saturday, August 23, at 8:30 pm, at Estádio da Luz, in what will be the Eagles' second match in the league, in the third round of the competition.
