Benfica's current form appears strong, evident from their recent victories in the Primeira Liga and Champions League Qualifying. Their next match is a Champions League Qualifying game against Fenerbahce. Conversely, Tondela has struggled, losing their last two league games. Their upcoming match is against Estoril in the Primeira Liga.
Benfica's consistent goal-scoring form, as seen against Nice and in their friendly against Fenerbahce, continued in this match. Tondela's inability to score goals in their recent games is a worrying trend. Benfica's dominant performance aligns with their historical advantage over Tondela in previous head-to-head encounters. They have consistently outperformed Tondela in previous Primeira Liga matches. Tondela's previous games indicate a lack of offensive firepower, with multiple games ending in 0 goals. Benfica seems well-prepared for their Champions League qualifying match against Fenerbahce. Fenerbahce and Benfica recently played a draw (0-0).
On August 23, 2025, Benfica is set to face Tondela at the Estadio da Luz in a Portuguese Primeira Liga match. AI predicts a Benfica victory, with a 72.0% win probability compared to Tondela's 11.3%. The draw probability is calculated at 16.7%. Benfica enters the game with a rate of 0.831, while Tondela's rate is significantly lower at 0.333. Benfica's recent form has been strong, including Champions League qualifying wins and a league victory against Estrela. However, they did draw their last game against Fenerbahce, seeing a red card in the process. Tondela, on the other hand, has struggled, losing their last two league games. In past head-to-head matches, Benfica has dominated. Benfica's attack, led by rising star, Joao Felix Jr., and experienced striker, Rafa Silva, will likely prove too much for Tondela's defense to handle. Joao Felix Jr. is well known for his dribbling and goals. Rafa Silva is known for his speed on the field. The home crowd will be expecting nothing less than a convincing win.
