Sporting Lisbon vs Tondela prediction, preview, team news and more | Primeira Liga 2021-22 

Sporting Lisbon and Tondela will trade tackles in a Primeira Liga matchday 12 fixture on Sunday.

Both sides come into the game on the back of 3-1 victories. The home side saw off Borussia Dortmund's challenge in Group D of the UEFA Champions League to book their spot in the knockout round.

Pedro Goncalves was the star of the show with a first-half brace and also missed a penalty late in the game.

Tondela saw off the challenge of Leixoes in the fourth round of the Taca de Portugal last weekend. Juan Boselli, Tiago Dantas and Jhon Murillo all got on the scoresheet to help their side secure progress.

Sporting Lisbon currently sit in second place in the league, level on points with Porto in their quest to retain their league crown. Tondela's 12 points from 11 matches are only good enough for ninth spot.
