Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Following back-to-back losses to Farense and Arouca, Boavista will be aiming to get back on course in Primeira Liga when they face Estrela on Matchday 30. As Panteras are only two points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Saturday’s football match is of big importance for the home side. Sebastian Perez is banned for the match, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Estrela.
Os Tricolores, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run, but beating Boavista in Porto is easier said than done. A close contest is on the horizon at Estadio de Bessa Seculo XXI and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. The good news for the visiting team is that Brazil defender Mansur is back from suspension.
