📊 Form Guide

Boavista

LLDLWD

Boavista enter this match coming off the back of a 1-1 Primeira Liga drawn game against Vitória Guimarães.

In that game, Boavista managed 41% possession and 11 shots on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Boavista was Tiago Ilori (85'). Vitória Guimarães had 17 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Óscar Estupiñán (80') was the scorer for Vitória Guimarães.

It has been seldom in recent games where Boavista have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Boavista have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 11 goals in the process. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, though.

Tondela

In that match, Tondela managed 49% possession and 10 shots at goal with 5 on target. For Tondela, goals were scored by Daniel Dos Anjos (63') and Manu Hernando (100'). At the other end, Moreirense got 9 shots at goal with 5 on target. Rafael Martins (21') was the scorer for Moreirense.

Looking at their form, and Tondela have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, conceding 14 goals in all. Defensively, Tondela have some weaknesses to address.

• have not been beaten by Boavista in games played away from home for the previous 2 matches in the league.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Boavista

Javi García (Unknown Injury), Pedro Malheiro (Knee Surgery), Alireza Beiranvand (Unknown Injury) and Fran Pereira (Unknown Injury) will not be able to play for Boavista manager Armando Petit.

It seems likely that As Panteras could opt for a 3-4-3 formation for the game, utilising Rafael Bracali, Rodrigo Abascal, Tiago Ilori, Jackson Porozo, Reggie Cannon, Sebastián Pérez, Gaius Makouta, Yanis Hamache, Gustavo Sauer, Petar Musa and Kenji Gorre.

📰 Team News: Tondela

Tondela boss Pako Ayestarán has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Eduardo Quaresma (Corona virus), Simone Muratore (Unknown Injury), Tiago Dantas (Corona virus) and Jota Gonçalves (Ruptured knee ligament) will miss out on this game.

We believe Auriverdes will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 system, starting Babacar Niasse Mbaye, Bebeto, Ricardo Alves, Manu Hernando, Naoufel Khacef, Rafael Barbosa, João Pedro Machado, Iker Undabarrena, Jhon Murillo, Daniel dos Anjos and Salvador Agra.

⚡ Prediction

We’re thinking that Tondela will need to push hard to breach the defence of this Boavista team who we think might well do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We’re therefore seeing a good tussle with a 1-0 winning margin for Boavista at the end of the 90 minutes.

Should be a close one.
