📊 Form Guide

Boavista

LDDDLD ⚠

Boavista prepare for this fixture following a 0-0 Primeira Liga stalemate versus Marítimo.

In that match, Boavista had 41% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 3 on target. On the other side, Marítimo had 9 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target.

Boavista have really been misfiring in recent times. Their sum of goals stands at just 3 against opposition teams during their previous 6 fixtures. In those games, As Panteras have also seen the number of goals against them come to 8. Such a trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, however.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Boavista:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Santa Clara in their last 3 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Boavista

Miguel Reisinho (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Adil Rami (Muscle Injury) aren’t available for Boavista gaffer Jesualdo Ferreira.

Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there is only the sole fitness problem for the Santa Clara boss Daniel Ramos to be concerned about. Mansur (Muscle Injury) misses out for this game.
