Boavista form and stats

Boavista have played 15 Liga Portugal games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-5-3 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Boavista bring valid hopes of a third.

The fans are hoping that Boavista will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Porto (placed 2nd). The first loss after going unbeaten in three league games. Midfield player Pérez got a match rating of 7.44 in that game, the max score being 10. Pérez dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Rio Ave.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Boavista have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 5 and lost 1.

Boavista are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 15 games. 20 goals have been conceded.

Estoril form and stats

Estoril have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Liga Portugal, after 3-2-10 (15 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Estoril won their last game, 3-0 versus Santa Clara played at home. Those three points felt good as this club had gone three league matches without winning. Santos was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.12. The defender Santos served one assist, hit one key pass and won 9 of 15 duels.

Prior to that match, the Estoril manager Ribeiro faced defeat when travelling to Benfica and losing 0-1.

We have checked recent matches where Estoril have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 7 games were 2 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Observe: 13 of the latest 17 league matches involving this club have ended with only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Estoril as they have only managed to score 11 times from 15 away games in the league. 22 goals have been conceded by Estoril in these games.
