Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Tondela.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Boavista playing away and similar expectations, we found 20 relevant matches. Results were six Boavista wins, eight draws and six defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Boavista manager Teixeira as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Benfica.
