Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Following a splendid 3-0 win over Braga, Arouca will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Boavista in the Primeira Liga round 29. Arouca aim to overtake Moreirense in 6th place in the standings and they are likely to go all guns blazing on Boavista this weekend. The good news for the hosts is that Uruguay forward Alfonso Trezza is back from suspension.
As Panteras, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Farense and given Arouca’s signs of improvement, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Porto with their hands empty. In the first half of the season Arouca crushed Boavista 4-0, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. Both Salvador Agra and Miguel Reisinho are back from suspension, speaking of the visiting 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.
