Portimonense
Match Time & Date:
19/08/2023
21:30
Prediction: 1-1
Boavista
After suffering a heavy 5-0 loss to Gil Vicente in their opener, Portimonense will look to give fans something to cheer about when they take on Boavista on Matchday 2. O Portimao are low on confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash, but they are surely capable of matching As Panteras on home soil. Goncalo Costa is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Boavista.
The visitors, meanwhile, did remarkably well to shock reigning champions Benfica (3-2) in their opener, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to put our money on draw this time out. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of their last six meetings in all competitions. Boavista forward Bruno Lourenco is banned for the match after he was sent off in the triumph over the Eagles.
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.
