Seven points from three Liga Portugal home games is a great start for Boavista, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI.

Boavista faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sporting Braga (1-4). The first setback in the shape of a loss after collecting points in five league games. Gonçalves had a busy but productive day in the Sporting Braga match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented. Midfielder Morais was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.45 (out of ten) in that game. Morais scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times and had 20 successful passes (of 23 total).

Ahead of that match, Boavista won a home game hosting Chaves (4-1).
