Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Wednesday’s football game at Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota pits together Estoril and Boavista, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Primeira Liga table. Estoril were struggling in the national championship before the international break, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches, and they must be low on spirits ahead of the visit of Boavista.
Francisco Geraldes is back from suspension, while fellow midfielder Tiago Gouveia has yet to overcome a muscle injury. Meanwhile, the Black and Whites failed to win the previous six league fixtures. Since the visitors are desperate to get back on course as well, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Martim Tavares misses out with a ligament injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Boavista):
Founded on August 1, 1903, Boavista are a Portuguese club that welcome their rivals at Estadio do Bessa. The capacity of the venue is 28,263 and it was built back in 1911. As Panteras (The Panthers) are well known for their black and white shirts and white is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Famous Fellow city club Porto are considered Boavista’s main rivals and the two teams face each other in O Derby da Invicta and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two local rivals. A Panteras did well to win their first and only Primeira Liga trophy in the 2000/2001 season, with the team finishing the campaign only one point clear of Porto.
Boavista have five Taca de Portugal trophies (1974/75, 1975/76, 1978/79, 1991/92, 1996/97), with the team winning Supertaca de Portugal three times (1979, 1992, 1997). Jose Bosingwa, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Nuno Gomes are the notable footballers who played for Boavista in the past, to name just a few.
