Prediction: 1-1
Gil Vicente
Boavista will look to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Vitoria Guimaraes when they welcome Gil Vicente to their Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI on Matchday 32. The Black and Whites have been struggling to find their best form of late, but they are still seen as slim favourites to beat Gil Vicente in Porto. Defender Chidozie Awaziem serves a one-game ban, while both Sasso and Reisinho are pushing for a start as duo Abascal – Vukotic failed to impress in the last league match.
Os Galos, meanwhile, are four points clear of the relegation zone ahead of Saturday’s clash. As 16th-place Portimonense take on Sporting CP on the road this weekend, both Boavista and Gil Vicente should be happy with one point from Saturday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Porto.
