Paços de Ferreira form and stats

Boavista form and stats

There's been little loot from Boavista's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 10 away games in the Liga Portugal. Boavista only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Boavista have lost on their last two travels.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Boavista, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Benfica (placed 1st). Boavista goalkeeper Bracali could enjoy a fine day vs Benfica, but despite managing six saves the defeat could not be avoided. Attacker Njie got a player rating of 7.4 in the game. "Man of the match" Njie scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Casa Pia.

The attacking power of Boavista when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. In the opposite end, Boavista have conceded 19 goals in their away games.
