Prediction: 2-0
Famalicao
Following a heavy 4-1 loss to Braga, Boavista will look to get back on course when they face Famalicao on Saturday evening. The Black and Whites are eyeing their third home win of the process and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Midfielder Sebastian Perez serves a one-game ban, while goalkeeper Cesar is sidelined with an ACL injury.
Famalicao, on the other hand, continue with their habit of producing fine displays on the road, while struggling on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. To make things even worse for the away team, important defender Riccieli is out of contention through suspension. Mifielder Theo Fonseca remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury. In their last encounter in the Portuguese top flight Famalicao defeated Boavista 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
