Boavista form and stats

With 4 Primeira Liga wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Boavista are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Boavista drew their last game, 3-3 away at Santa Clara (placed 7th). Before that game, the home loss against Marítimo with the scoreline 0-1.

Opportunity lost for Boavista in the Santa Clara match as a lead 4-2 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. A goal frenzy last time out for Boavista, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Santa Clara. Fun stuff to watch!

There will be little rest for Boavista after this match as they are travelling to Sporting CP for a Primeira Liga game in only four days.

The Boavista fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 15 matches. Boavista's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 21 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Primeira Liga home defeat versus Benfica with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Famalicão that ended 2-2.

A quick return to home after this game, as Tondela are hosting Belenenses in the Primeira Liga only four days away.
