Boavista form and stats

3-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Primeira Liga numbers at home for Boavista so far this season.

The Boavista goalkeeper Helton Brant Aleixo Leite is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 315 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primeira Liga.

Boavista are returning here after visiting Pacos de Ferreira in a Primeira Liga game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Ricardo Costa scored the goal(s). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Vitória SC in a game that was won 2-0.

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 14 games) they have won eight times, drawn three and lost three.

Boavista has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. 10 goals have been conceded.

Belenenses form and stats

There's been little loot from Belenenses's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the Primeira Liga. Belenenses only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Belenenses are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Belenenses failed to get anything from their last game, a Primeira Liga home match vs Santa Clara (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 0-2. Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting Benfica's place.

We have checked recent matches where Belenenses have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were three victories, seven draws and zero defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Belenenses as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league. Belenenses have conceded 18 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Belenenses - Boavista 0-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Boavista, three draws and three wins for Belenenses. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: ten games.
