Prediction: 1-0
Boavista
Estadio Municipal de Chaves will host Saturday’s football game between Chaves and Boavista. The rock-bottom side aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Moreirense and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Black and Whites. Habib Sylla faces race against clock to bet fit for the match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
As Panteras, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Estoril, with the team putting an end to their three-game winless run. Both Awaziem and Onyemaechi are back from the international duty, while goalkeeper Cesar remains on the sidelines with an ACL injury. Pedro Malheiro limped off with injury in the last league match, with Luis dos Santos likely to replace him in the starting XI. Anyhow, home win should be considered as the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors.
