Boavista

LLLWLL

Boavista will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 1-0 Primeira Liga loss in their previous game against Moreirense.

In that match, Boavista managed 43% possession and 9 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. For their opponents, Moreirense got 21 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Alan (31') was the scorer for Moreirense.

Boavista have really struggled up front in more recent games. Their goals record stands at just 3 versus opposing sides over their last 6 outings. In those meetings, Boavista have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 9. That pattern won’t necessarily follow through into this game, however.

Going into this encounter, Boavista have not been beaten in the league by Gil Vicente in their previous 2 games.

📋 Team News: Boavista

There is just a single fitness concern for the Boavista manager Lito Vidigal to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy squad. Filipe Ferreira (Inflammation of ligaments in the knee) is sidelined.

We think that As Panteras will probably kick off with a 3-2-4-1 formation for this one, utilising Cesar, Sidoine Fogning, Steven Vitoria, Rodrigo Abascal, Joel da Silva, Layvin Kurzawa, Marco van Ginkel, Ibrahima, Ilija Vukotic, Moussa Kone and Robert Bozenik.

ℹ️ Team News: Gil Vicente

Gil Vicente manager César Peixoto has not got a full squad to pick from. Facundo Cáseres (unknown injury) and Yaya Sithole (Tibia and fibula fracture) are not ready for selection.

We believe Gilistas will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, starting Andrew, Ze Carlos, Josue, Jonathan Mutombo, Sandro Cruz, Santi Garcia, Joao Teixeira, Kanya Fujimoto, Felix Correia, Carlos Eduardo and Sergio Bermejo.

⚡ Prediction

Here is a game where Boavista will need to apply a lot of pressure to hit the back of the net against this Gil Vicente side who we reckon will score one, at least.

We’ve gone for a good tussle with a 0-1 winning margin for Gil Vicente at the end of the match.

Little in this one.
