Boavista open their doors to Benfica for another entertaining Primeira Liga match here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Champions League.
Boavista form and stats
Boavista have only played one Primeira Liga game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 10 draws and 3 defeats from 17 matches.
No payout for Boavista in their previous match, an away game at Casa Pia that ended in defeat 0-2. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going undefeated in four league matches. Gorré, who plays in attack, was the champion performer for the side in that match, collecting a rating of 7.41 (out of 10). Gorré hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 7 of 10 times.
Before that, Boavista had a home game versus Santa Clara which ended with a victory 2-1.Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Boavista have been in this position before, they have won 1, drawn 0 and lost 3 from 4 games. 2 defeats by at least two goals.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Boavista at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Benfica form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Primeira Liga, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 13 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 17 matches.
270 minutes! That's how long the Benfica goalkeeper Odisseas Vlachodimos and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
The supporters enjoyed Benfica's previous match versus Dynamo Kyiv, a Champions League win (3-0) played at home. Midfielder Neres was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.93. Neres scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 36 successful passes (of 43 total).
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Pacos de Ferreira in just three days.
Benfica have the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
