With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Boavista fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Portimonense.
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
The story so far in the Primeira Liga for Boavista at their home stadium (Estadio do Bessa XXI) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. Boavista are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estadio do Bessa XXI, having lost their two previous games here.

A huge disappointment for Portimonense in their last match (vs Sporting CP). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 2-4 defeat.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Portimonense have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
