In one of the matches of the 32nd round of the Portuguese championship, Tondela and Belenenses will meet. Which of the neighbors in the standings will be better?
"Tondela"
Three rounds before the end of the season, Tondela can feel at ease, because it managed to escape from the relegation zone by a comfortable distance of six points and sit on the 10th line with 36 points. At the same time, Tondela could have finally secured a place in the Primeira Liga for the next season, but did not perform well in the last three matches: two draws and a defeat.
"Belenenses"
Almost the same situation is with "Belenenses", which is one line higher and has a point more. The team pulled itself together in time and was able to produce a number of good matches, which ended with positive results. Thanks to this, "Belenenses" is guaranteed to avoid direct relegation and is close to not falling into the play-off zone, the handicap over which is 7 points.

Forecast
The teams do not need anything, only in the most terrible combination of circumstances they will be able to find themselves in the zone of play-off games, but from the point of view of logic, this is unlikely. I bet that Tondela and Belenenses will score at least two goals between them. There are no tournament tasks, so you can play for your own pleasure, relaxed.
