By Ananya Rao / 30.04.2026

Sporting CP’s title hopes are at stake as they face a struggling Tondela team desperate for points to avoid relegation. The match will take place at Estadio Jose Alvalade on April 29, 2026, at 3:15 PM.

Sporting CP currently sits in third place in the Liga Portugal table, while Tondela is in 17th place. The stakes are high for both teams as they approach this critical match.

In their last five encounters, Sporting CP has dominated Tondela, winning all five matches. Most recently, Sporting CP defeated Tondela 3-0 in October 2025. Over these matches, Sporting CP scored 12 goals and conceded just 2 goals.

Sporting CP’s recent form includes one win, three draws, and one defeat in their last five matches. They will be missing key players due to injuries, including Joao Simoes and Ivan Fresneda. This could impact their performance against Tondela.

Tondela has struggled recently, taking only one point from their last five Liga Portugal games. They are also dealing with injuries to Rodrigo Conceicao and Cicero.

The projected starting lineup for Sporting CP includes R. Silva, O. Diomande, Z. Debast, E. Quaresma, M. Araujo, G. Catamo, G. Kochorashvili, H. Morita, Trincao, P. Goncalves, and L. Suarez.

Tondela’s projected starting lineup features B. Fontes, E. Maviram, B. Medina, J. Silva, Bebeto, A. van der Heide, J. Hodge, J. Rodriguez, Moudjatovic, J. Pefok, and R. Lopes.

This match is crucial not just for the title race but also for Tondela’s fight against relegation.
