Prediction: 0-1
Boavista
Boavista will be looking to build on a splendid 3-0 win over Benfica when they face Farense at Estadio de Sao Luis on Matchday 7. The Black and Whites regained a much-needed confidence at the weekend, but they do not want to stop now. Boavista are eager to record their first away win of the season, and they should take advantage of the fact that the game will be played behind closed doors.
The good news for the visitors is that experienced midfielder Javi Garcia, who played for Man City in the past, returns from suspension. Farense, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team still eyeing their first win of the season. Midfielder Pedro is banned for the match, and given Boavista’s display in the crushing of Benfica, away win should definitely be considered.
