Season ticket holders at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Boavista languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Nacional will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Boavista has the fewest points (5) at home in Primeira Liga
- Nacional have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Boavista form and stats
Boavista's results here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI in the Primeira Liga have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 5 defeats. 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's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Gil Vicente (placed 13th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Portimonense and winning 2-1.
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 eleven games. Boavista has won five of these, drawn two and lost four.
Boavista are traveling soon after this match as the Primeira Liga match at Porto awaits in four days.
Boavista have scored 6 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
Nacional form and stats
Nacional have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Primeira Liga, after 1-3-4 (8 played). Nacional has drawn their two previous away games.
Nacional are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Rio Ave (placed 14th). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Famalicão.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Nacional in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Nacional, one draw and zero defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Farense in just four days.
Goals are few and far between in Nacional's away league games. Only 4 goals from 8 travels. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 9 goals have been conceded by Nacional in these games.
