Venue: Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho (10000 seats)

5th position in the Primeira Liga table for Famalicão so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 12th-placed Boavista visits Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho.

Boavista could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Primeira Liga game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Portimonense. 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.

For Boavista most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Boavista form and stats

5-4-7 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Boavista in their Primeira Liga matches away. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Boavista are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. Recent form does not give Boavista much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Famalicão will be a tough nut to crack.

Boavista lost away at Portimonense (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Marítimo.

The attacking power of Boavista when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 16 league matches away. Boavista have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.
