Prediction: 1-1
Rio Ave
Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI will host Saturday’s Primeira Liga game between Boavista and Rio Ave. The Black and Whites aim to make amends for a massive 6-1 loss to Sporting CP and they are surely capable of matching Os Rioavistas in front of home fans. Guinea midfielder Ibrahima Camara is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Meanwhile, the visitors have drawn each of their last four league matches, with the team remaining in the danger zone. As both Rio Ave and Boavista are eager to return to winning ways in the Portuguese top flight, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. Midfielder Miguel Nobrega remains on the sidelines with a thigh problem, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team this time out.
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.
