20:00
Prediction: 1-2
Ferreira
Boavista will look to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 loss to Gil Vicente when they take on Ferreira at Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI. The Black and Whites are determined to give fans something to cheer about, but Monday’s football game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Forward Alberth Elis remains on the sidelines through injury for the hosts.
Ferreira, on the other hand, did well to beat Famalicao 2-0 in the opening match of the season, with the team sealing the victory at the start of the second half. The visitors are high on spirits ahead of the trip to Porto, and given Boavista’s anything but good display in the defeat to Gil Vicente, punters from all corners of the world can definitely find value in betting on the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Yusupha Njie):
Born in Banjul, Gambia, on January 3, 1994, Yusupha Njie is a forward who plays for Boavista in Primeira Liga. Njie began his youth career at Wealers FC, and in 2004 he moved to Cherno Samba Academy to continue his football development.
The Gambia international played for the likes of Real de Banjul and FUS Rabat at the senior level before signing a loan deal with Boavista in the 2017/2018 season. He later joined the Primeira Liga club permanently. In July 2018, Yusupha Njie reportedly signed a contract with French Club Stade de Reims, but the deal was canceled due to failed medical.
The Gambian footballer made his Boavista debut in Primeira Liga on August 7, 2017, in a 2-1 loss to Portimonense. Speaking of his international career, Yusupha Njie made his Gambia debut on June 11, 2017, in a 1-0 loss to Benin in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. His primary position is centre-forward, but he is used as a right winger and a second striker as well.

Two seasons later Pacos de Ferreira faced Benfica in the Taca da Liga final, with the Eagles lifting the trophy. Wolverhampton forward Diogo Jota is one of notable footballers who started their senior careers at Pacos de Ferreira.
