Boavista and Moreirense have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Primeira Liga.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Boavista form and stats
3 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Boavista have to build on here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI in the Primeira Liga. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Boavista, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Boavista manager J. Fernandes Vidigal and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Tondela (placed 14th) in the Primeira Liga. Preceding that match was the home game against Gil Vicente that was lost 0-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Boavista perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Boavista as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Boavista has won six of these, drawn three and lost three.
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 (11 from 12 games). 13 goals have been conceded.
Moreirense form and stats
Moreirense have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Primeira Liga, after 1-6-5 (12 played). Moreirense has drawn their two previous away games.
Moreirense are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Primeira Liga against Marítimo (placed 15th). A 1-1 draw at Benfica's stadium before that.
