"Tondela have lost three in a row in the Primeira Liga, while Estoril have made an unbeaten start to the league campaign."
We're chasing a third straight week of profit on Football Bet of the Day, and Kevin Hatchard's has bought us a ticket to Portugal.
Buzzing visitors can strike again
Tondela v Estoril
Monday 13 September, 21:15
Late drama quickens the pulse, and our Tobias had to wait until the final quarter-of-an-hour for Olimpiyets NN to snatch an equaliser at Dinamo Moscow, and land his BTTS bet at a chunky price. As it turns out, the visitors went on to win 2-1, but TG was already sauntering into the distance by then.
We're heading to Portugal to kick off our week, because in-form Estoril are making the trip to face Tondela, and I think the visitors can pick up three points.
Estoril have made a rip-roaring start to the campaign, with three wins and a draw from their first four league matches. Admittedly, they haven't faced any of the Big Three or Braga yet, but wins over Pacos de Ferreira and Maritimo have caught the eye. Bruno Pinheiro's side has rattled in seven goals already.
Tondela started brilliantly with a 3-0 win over Santa Clara, but they have since lost three games in a row. Last time out they led at Benfica, only to collapse late on and lose 2-1. Former Liverpool assistant boss Pako Ayestaran has a tough job on his hands, although he did eventually lead his side to a respectable 12th last season. Stretching back into last season, Tondela have lost six of their last eight home games in the top flight.
We can back the visitors using the Draw No Bet market at 1.84/5 here, which means if Estoril win, we win, but a draw sees our stake returned.
