Prediction: 1-1
Maritimo
Boavista and Maritimo face each other at Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI in the Primeira Liga round 13. The Black and Whites are on a three-game losing run in the national championship, meaning that the lack of confidence could prove to be a big problem for the Porto-based side. Midfielder Javi Garcia should be the only absentee in the home team as both Cannon and Abascal return from suspension.
Maritimo, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Ferreira, and they managed to get one. O Maior das Ilhas, though, have already suffered four defeats on the road this season, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on draw. Italy attacker could earn a place in the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the 2-0 win over Ferreira.
