Prediction: 1-1
Moreirense
Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI will host Saturday’s football game between Boavista and Moreirense, the two teams who shared the spoils with Famalicao and Rio Ave respectively in their last league matches. Boavista failed to win the previous three Primeira Liga games, but they are surely capable of matching Moreirense in front of home fans. Goalkeeper Cesar remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Rui Borges’ troops, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with Rio Ave, with Alan failing to convert a penalty kick in the stoppage time. Anyhow, yet another low-scoring affair is on the cards in Porto as there have been under 2.5 goals in six of the previous seven meetings between the two clubs. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Boavista):
Founded on August 1, 1903, Boavista are a Portuguese club that welcome their rivals at Estadio do Bessa. The capacity of the venue is 28,263 and it was built back in 1911. As Panteras (The Panthers) are well known for their black and white shirts and white is the dominant colour of their away kit.
Famous Fellow city club Porto are considered Boavista’s main rivals and the two teams face each other in O Derby da Invicta and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two local rivals. A Panteras did well to win their first and only Primeira Liga trophy in the 2000/2001 season, with the team finishing the campaign only one point clear of Porto.
Boavista have five Taca de Portugal trophies (1974/75, 1975/76, 1978/79, 1991/92, 1996/97), with the team winning Supertaca de Portugal three times (1979, 1992, 1997). Jose Bosingwa, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Nuno Gomes are the notable footballers who played for Boavista in the past, to name just a few.
