This match features two teams living in the basement of the Primeira Liga, Boavista holding 14th place and Farense lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Boavista have the most dropped points from leading position (15) in Primeira Liga
- Farense have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Primeira Liga
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Boavista form and stats
With 3 Primeira Liga wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Boavista are certainly not brimming with confidence. Boavista has recorded two wins in a row here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
No payout for Boavista in their previous match, an away game at Benfica that ended in defeat 0-2. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Famalicao.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Boavista here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 11 games). Boavista's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Farense form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Farense, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Primeira Liga, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-7 (win-draw-lose).
Farense are looking to quickly end their 371 minutes long goal drought in the Primeira Liga.
Farense might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Belenenses proved too strong as Farense slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estádio de São Lúis. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rio Ave wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Farense struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 18 goals conceded from these games.
