Boavista have had problems winning points this league season. Will they get a victory when Porto visit Estádio do Bessa Século XXI?

Insights:
  • Boavista have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Porto have the most scored goals (67) in Primeira Liga

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was also an away game, at Olympique Lyonnais. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
