Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Buoyed by a splendid 4-1 win over Leixoes in the Taca de Portugal, Santa Clara will be looking to put an end to their four-game winless run in the Primeira Liga when they welcome Boavista at their Estadio de Sao Miguel. Os Acoreanos have had their ups and downs in the first half of the season, but they continue with their habit of producing much better performances at home than on the travels.
Santa Clara are eyeing their third home win of the season, and they are likely to take advantage of the fact that Boavista suffered a dip in form. As Panteras failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to the likes of Vitoria Setubal and Porto, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Joao Henriques’ charges. In their last meeting at Estadio de Sao Miguel, Santa Clara outplayed Boavista 4-2.

Highlighted Player (Fabio Cardoso):

Fabio Cardoso is a Portuguese defender who was born in Agueda (Portugal) on April 19, 1994. Cardoso started his youth career at his hometown club Agueda, but in 2008 he continued his development at Benfica. After scoring three goals in 55 appearances for Benfica B, he spent the 2015/2016 season on loan at Pacos Ferreira.
In the summer of 2017, he signed a four-year deal with Vitoria Setubal, but he spent only one season at Estadio do Bonfim. Cardoso joined Scottish club Glasgow Rangers in June 2017, signing a three-year contract with the club for a fee of around £1.3 million.
The Portuguese defender, though, made no more than 12 appearances for the Gers, joining Santa Clara in the summer of 2018. Fabio Cardoso has four caps with the Portugal U20 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team. His primary position is a centre-back, but he is often used as a left-back. His preferred foot is right.
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.
