Venue: Estádio Municipal de Portimão (9544 seats)

Season ticket holders at Estádio Municipal de Portimão haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Portimonense languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Boavista will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Relegation threatens Portimonense who should definitely be looking for some points here. Boavista is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Boavista form and stats

5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Boavista playing as the away team in the Primeira Liga this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Boavista are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Primeira Liga home defeat versus Marítimo with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Benfica wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Boavista when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning zero games.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Boavista manager D. Lopes Ramos as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Famalicão.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Boavista have conceded 17 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Boavista - Portimonense 1-1 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last eight meetings): Portimonense won four games, one match ended with a draw and Boavista has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / six
