Boavista vs Moreirense Prediction & Betting tips
After a three-month break, the Portuguese Primeira Liga will also start playing again this week. At the top of the table, FC Porto and Benfica Lisbon are head to head for this year’s title. The capital city is currently one meter behind the competitor.
The late Saturday evening the derby will take place in the north of the country between Boavista Porto and Moreirense FC. The two teams are only 50 kilometers apart. In the current table of the highest Portuguese league, the teams are close together and the hosts can pull past the opponent with a success this weekend.
Both teams will no longer have great ambitions for international places, as the gap to fourth, which would entitle them to participate in the UEFA Europa League, has already increased considerably. The topic of relegation is also not acute this year due to the table situation.
In this duel in the no man’s land of the league, the home side go slightly favored. After four games without a win, do the black-and-white succeed in a threesome and jump past the opponent? The kick-off at the Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI will take place on Saturday evening at 21:15 p.m.
Boavista:
Already in the last seasons Porto could not achieve more than a secure midfield position in the final classification. The best years of the club were two decades ago when the black and white won the national championship in 2001.
This season, too, seems to result in a place between eighth and twelfth. In the 24 games completed, Boavista has so far collected 29 points and is in eleventh place in the table. So far, the team of head coach Daniel Ramos, who took over after the 14th matchday, has had seven wins and eight draws on their credit side.
So far, the balance of the new strong man on the outside line has been very manageable. A balance sheet that is absolutely expandable.
At the moment Boavista is 13 points behind Sporting, who are in fourth place and thus on the place that would still entitle them to participate in the Europa League. It is not expected that the backlog will still be made up. The lead on the relegation ranks is 13 points.
Before the interruption, the black and white remained without a three in four games in a row. Only a single counter was fetched from these games, giving them a better starting position. With a win in the upcoming home game, the home side would at least overtake the opponent.
A look at the goal difference clearly shows the strengths and weaknesses of the hosts. With 19 goals scored, there are only three teams in the Primeira Liga that are even less successful. The top scorer is left winger Heriberto Tavares, who has so far only overcome the opposing goalkeeper three times.
The defensive makes a strong impression in front of the Brazilian keeper Helton Leite, who only had to fish the ball 23 times from his own net. This is the third best value in the league. Coach Ramos will be absent on Saturday, striker Nikola Stojilikovic, who has to pause for the fifth yellow card, and Lucas Tagliapietra, who will be out with a broken fibula.
Moreirense:
After promotion in 2014, Moreirense was always in the lower half of the table in the first few years in the Primeira Liga. But the big breakthrough came last year. With sixth place the best placement was achieved and the green-whites only failed due to the poorer goal difference compared to Vitoria Guimaraes in qualifying for the Europa League.
Particularly annoying, since Moreirense spoiled the international appearances by a slump at home on the last match day against the direct opponent. Also this season the guests stay in the upper half of the table. From the 24 games they have played so far, the team led by head coach Ricardo Soares has seven wins and nine draws, accumulating 30 points. The green-whites are one point ahead of the upcoming opponent in eighth place in the table.
With twelve points behind in fourth place, it will be difficult this year to qualify for the international competitions. Before the forced break, Moreirense put in a very good series and has now been six games without defeat. Among other things, a surprising point win in the 1-1 draw at Benfica Lisbon.
Nevertheless, the bookmakers tested by the betting base in game Boavista vs. Moreirense no positive forecast for a tip on the score. The Soares team has been in the opponent’s place for four games without a defeat.
With 34 goals scored, the offensive of the Northern Portuguese is much more accurate than that of the opponent from Porto. In the last ten games, Moreirense has only failed once in the past. The top scorer is the Angolan international Fabio Abreu, who has played ten times so far.
With 32 goals conceded, the defensive does not always make a solid impression. Only five teams received more hits than the guests from a community near Guimaraes. All analyzes of the matches of the leagues in Europe can be found under the International Betting Tips category of the betting base.
