Prediction: 1-1
Estoril
Boavista play host to Estoril at their Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI in the Primeira Liga round 21. The Black and Whites produced a fine defensive display in a goalless draw with Casa Pia and they are now on a quest to record their first win at home since September 18, 2023. Luis dos Santos limped off with injury in the last league match, with Masaki Watai likely to step up.
Os Canarinhos, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Estrela. Estoril, though, have recorded only one win on the road this term, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Erick Cabaco remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. Vasco Seabra is likely to stick to the 3-4-3 formation, with Alejandro Marques up front as a lone forward.
