Prediction: 1-0
Portimonense
After failing to spoil Sporting’s party in Lisbon, Boavista will be looking to escape the relegation zone when they take on Portimonense in the Primeira Liga round 33. The Black and Whites are determined to secure the elite division survival, and seeing that Portimonense are four points clear of the relegation zone, home win should be considered. You should bear in mind that Boavista are eyeing their fifth home win of the season.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Belenenses and Moreirense. Paulo Sergio’s troops are on a five-game winless run in the Portuguese top flight, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the relegation-threatened hosts. You should bear in mind that in the first half of the season Boavista defeated Portimonense 2-1 at Estadio Municipal de Portimao.
