Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estoril play host to Boavista at Estadio Antonio Coimbra de Mota in the Primeira Liga round 14. Estoril aim to put an end to their three-game losing run, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Boavista. With no fresh injury worries to report, boss Nelson Verissimo should have a full squad to choose from. Meanwhile, the Black and Whites are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures.
Boavista are on the right track to secure yet another Primeira Liga survival, and seeing that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on Os Canarinhos this time out. A man to watch in the away side will be Vincent Sasso, who scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with Santa Clara, whilst Sebastian Perez is back from suspension. Both Ferreira and Penaranda should miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
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.
