Boavista vs FC Porto 05.01.2024 Prediction: Liga Portugal

Match Overview

A battle between David and Goliath will take place when Boavista host FC Porto at the Estadio do Bessa. Porto will fancy themselves to put up a decent showing here whereas Boavista will try to make sure that they do not give up without putting a fight to their opponents. Playing at home, they will feel that they can put up quite a strong fight against their opponents.

Key Highlights 

Ranked 10 in goals scored per match (1.4 goals), Boavista haven't won a match in 8 attempts. They have not quite been at their best when it comes to defending as well, and this can hurt them in the long run for sure. Boavista also haven't kept a clean sheet in the last 17 matches, and this will deter them from doing well against FC Porto in this game.

Injury Report

While Cesar has been ruled out for Boavista, Samuel and Gabriel Veron are among a few players of FC Porto who are unavailable for selection in this game owing to the injuries they sustained earlier in the season.

Prediction

Ranked 7 in goals scored per match (1.5 goals), FC Porto haven't lost to Boavista in their last 19 meetings (17 wins and 2 drawn encounters). We expect Porto to win this game quite comfortably as they appear to be the favourites to do so anyway. They are ranked 3rd away from home this season and this should help them to tide over the challenge put to them by Boavista.
