The visiting Paços de Ferreira side should be favourites in this visit to Boavista, as the away team holds a 19 point advantage from their 26 league games this season.
- Boavista have the most dropped points from leading position (17) in Primeira Liga
- Paços de Ferreira haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Boavista form and stats
Boavista's struggle is real here at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI with only 12 points collected from 13 Primeira Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-3-7.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Boavista, who played 3-3 against Rio Ave. That match was also played at this venue (Estádio do Bessa Século XXI). A strong away win before that one, visiting Belenenses and winning 2-0.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Boavista has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. Boavista have conceded 20 from these games.
Paços de Ferreira form and stats
Playing away, Paços de Ferreira have won 4 games, drawn 3 and suffered 6 defeats in the Primeira Liga this season. Bitter travels for Paços de Ferreira as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Gil Vicente match.

Ferreira's previous game was their home loss versus Benfica (0-5). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Famalicao's place.
Ferreira lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
