Prediction: 3-0
Boavista
All eyes will be on Estadio do Dragao when Porto and Boavista go head to head in the Porto derby on Sunday evening. The Dragons are on a four-game winning run in the Primeira Liga, with the team melting Benfica’s advantage to only four points, but they face yet another must-win situation in the local derby. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Mehdi Taremi, who scored his 15th goal of the season in a 2-0 win over Ferreira, while there are no fresh injury worries ahead of the visit of Boavista.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table. Since Boavista have little to play for in the remainder of the season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title-chasing hosts. Petit should have a full squad to choose from as well.

Pepe is a professional footballer who plays for Porto as a defender. The Portuguese international played for Maritimo at the start of his senior career and in 2004 he moved to Porto.
