- Moreirense have yet to win a game away.
The hosts Boavista saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the League Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Sporting Braga, was also a home game here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI. The away team is better rested.
Boavista form and stats
The story so far in the Primeira Liga for Boavista at their home stadium (Estádio do Bessa Século XXI) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat. When Boavista hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Boavista, Pacos de Ferreira, Santa Clara, Belenenses and Famalicao), they have won 2 of 4 matches! The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts.
A nice win for Boavista last time playing, versus Sporting Braga. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-1 with Sauer (2), Musa, Njie and Santos scoring for the victors. As mentioned above, Boavista "killed" Sporting Braga in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sporting CP (0-2).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 13 games. Boavista has won seven of these, drawn three and lost three.
Boavista has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Boavista's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Moreirense form and stats
There's been little loot from Moreirense's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Primeira Liga. Moreirense only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Moreirense have lost on their last two travels.
The manager Oliveira Nunes Henriques was unhappy after their last game, a Primeira Liga match played at their home ground Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas. Moreirense suffered a 0-1 loss to Portimonense (placed 6th). Silva, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.33. Silva hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 5 of 6 times.
Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Gil Vicente.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Moreirense in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Moreirense, four draws and three defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Moreirense now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Taça De Portugal game at Mafra is waiting in only four days.
The attacking power of Moreirense when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Moreirense have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
