Boavista Preview – Can Boavista build on recent win?
A 1-0 win away from home at high-flying Sporting Braga on the weekend in the Primeira Liga handed Boavista a seemingly unlikely three points against the 3rd placed side, and they now return to their Estádio do Bessa Século XXI seeking back-to-back wins in the Portuguese top flight.
This recent win was certainly against the odds as Boavista had failed to win any of their previous five matches, losing four of these five as well, but they now have a chance to put even further distance between themselves and the relegation zone as they play host to 12th placed Viotoria Setubal on Thursday.
However, a home record of 3-4-6 11/14 is nothing to write home about, especially as Boavista have lost their last three home matches on the trot, so the prospects of a home win here seem unlikely; goals have been thin on the ground too, as 10 of Boavista’s 13 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Vitoria Setubal Preview – Can Vitoria Setubal break out of slump?
Vitoria Setubal will be attempting to end an eight-match sequence without a win in the Primeira Liga when they make their way to Boavista for this Thursday night clash and in turn, move themselves away from the relegation zone too.
Three defeats and five draws have meant that Vitoria Setubal have basically been treading water in the lower half of the Primeira Liga without dropping down into the lower reaches of the division, while away from home, they’ve drawn three of their last four on their travels.
An away record of 3-5-5 11/17 is also as underwhelming as Boavista’s home record so an away win here also seems unlikely, but 8 of Setubal’s 13 away matches have also seen under 2.5 goals scored.
