Match Time & Date:
25/10/2020
01:30 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Boavista
Famalicao and Boavista face each other in a highly-anticipated game at Estadio Municipal de Famalicao. Joao Pedro Sousa’s troops impressed in the Primeira Liga last term, but they have not been as impressive in the new season. Famalicao have been scoring goals for fun of late, but it is more than obvious that they struggle at the back. Seeing that Colombian defender Edwin Herrera is banned for the match, we do not believe that the hosts are capable of keeping a clean sheet in Sunday’s clash.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run in the Primeira Liga, but, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the match. Given Famalicao’s shaky defence and impressive attack, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Adil Rami, who suffered an injury in a 1-0 loss to Guimaraes, is unlikely to feature against Famalicao.

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).
