Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
This prediction will After failing to win the previous eight league matches, Boavista will look to return to winning ways when they welcome Vizela to their Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI on Saturday afternoon. As Panteras do not seem to be at their sharpest, but their fine display in the Porto derby is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Sunday’s clash. Bear in mind, though, that both Joao Goncalves and Pedro Melheiro are banned for the match.
Vizela, on the other hand, failed to secure the Primeira Liga survival despite crushing Estrela 4-0 at the weekend. Considering that the visitors are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Porto, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. All Matheus Pereira, Hugo Oliveira, and Aleksandar Busnic should be recalled to the starting eleven as Os Vizelenses have little to play for in Sunday’s showdown. released soon.
