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.

Currently, Sporting CP holds third place in the Liga Portugal table. In contrast, Tondela sits in 17th place. Sporting has won the last five encounters against Tondela, including a decisive 3-0 victory in their most recent match in October 2025.

Sporting CP has scored 12 goals and conceded only 2 in their last five matches against Tondela. Their recent form includes one win, three draws, and one defeat across their last five matches overall. Meanwhile, Tondela has managed to secure just one point from their last five Liga Portugal games.

Injuries have impacted Sporting CP significantly. Key players Joao Simoes and Ivan Fresneda will miss this match due to injuries. Tondela also faces challenges with Rodrigo Conceicao and Cicero sidelined.

Projected lineups:

Sporting CP: R. Silva, O. Diomande, Z. Debast, E. Quaresma, M. Araujo, G. Catamo, G. Kochorashvili, H. Morita, Trincao, P. Goncalves, L. Suarez and Tondela: B. Fontes, E. Maviram, B. Medina, J. Silva, Bebeto, A. van der Heide, J. Hodge, J. Rodriguez, Moudjatovic, J. Pefok, R. Lopes.

The stakes are high for both teams as Sporting CP fights for the title while Tondela battles to avoid relegation.
