Boavista form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Boavista so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 1-6-2 (win-draw-lose).

Boavista failed to get anything from their last game, a Primeira Liga home match vs Nacional (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Gil Vicente.

The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it.
