Boavista form and stats

Boavista's struggle is real here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI with only 5 points collected from 9 Primeira Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-6. With Boavista having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager M. Ferreira.

The home team returns to Estádio do Bessa Século XXI after being equal after 90 minutes with Porto (placed 2nd) on their last time out; the Primeira Liga game ended 2-2. Before that game, the home loss against Nacional with the scoreline 0-1.

A disappointing finish for Boavista in their match versus Porto as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

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 nine games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost two.

Boavista aren't scoring a lot here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI in the league, with only 6 goals from 9 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.
