Boavista
After suffering a 1-0 loss to Benfica at the weekend, Casa Pia will look to give fans some cheer when they face Boavista in the Primeira Liga round 3. The newcomers have yet to find the net in the new season, but their displays seem to be much better than the results. Summer signing Yan Eteki is pushing for his first start of the season, while both Antoine and Varela have been struggling with injuries of late.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record intact in the 2022/2023 season. Boavista, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is the main reason why the share of spoils is on the cards. As for the visiting team, there are no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Lisbon. The two teams meet for the first time in the Portuguese top flight.
