LISBON (Interstat) — Casa Pia hosts Tondela on Sunday, May 3, in a Primeira Liga matchup between two mid-table sides seeking consistency as the season winds down.

The game at the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior kicks off at 4 p.m. local time. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, reflecting the teams’ recent struggles to string together victories.

Tondela enters the match on an encouraging note after a 2-2 draw at Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday, April 29. That result snapped a two-match losing streak for the visitors, who had fallen 2-0 at home to Nacional on April 25 and 2-0 at Porto on April 19. Over their last 10 league games, Tondela has managed only two wins — both by 2-0 margins, against Estrela Amadora on Feb. 20 and earlier against Nacional’s reverse fixture — along with four draws and four losses. The team has scored just eight goals in that span, while conceding 17.

Casa Pia, meanwhile, is coming off a 2-1 loss at Gil Vicente on Monday, April 27, a defeat that extended their winless run to seven matches. The home side’s last victory came on Feb. 14, a 3-2 triumph at Arouca. Since then, Casa Pia has posted three draws and four losses. In their most recent home outing, they fell to Sporting Braga 1-0 on April 23. Overall this season, Casa Pia has been difficult to beat but often lacks a cutting edge, averaging less than a goal per game in league play.

The two clubs met most recently on Dec. 21, 2025, with Casa Pia winning 2-1 on Tondela’s home turf. That result snapped a run of four successive draws in the head-to-head series, but Tondela has not won at Casa Pia since a 2-0 victory in April 2023.

For Tondela, the draw at Sporting Lisbon — a team challenging for European spots — provided a morale boost. Coach Tiago Fernandes will hope his side can build on that performance, particularly after taking a 2-0 lead before conceding two second-half goals. Casa Pia manager Filipe Martins will look to tighten a defense that has leaked 10 goals in its past five matches.

Neither team is in immediate danger of relegation, but both will aim to finish the campaign on an upward trajectory. Sunday’s encounter, projected as a tight affair, could hinge on which side capitalizes on limited scoring chances.
