Prediction: 1-0
Boavista
High-flying Famalicao will look to build on back-to-back wins over Benfica and Estrela when they face Boavista on Saturday evening. Famalicao could not have wished for a better start to the season, but boss Armando Evangelista must warn his men against complacency. Barring any fresh injury worries, the 50-year-old tactician is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Estrela at the weekend.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Braga, but seeing that Os Azuis e Brancos are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to place our bets on the home team. Teenage goalkeeper Pires Luis remains in the recovery room, but the 19-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
Highlighted Team (Famalicao):
Founded on August 21, 1931, Famalicao are a Portuguese football club that compete in the Primeira Liga. The colour of their home kit is white, with the team wearing blue shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
