Boavista vs Porto Betting Tips: Porto to Win
Without question, we can expect a tense battle for the championship title in this season’s Portuguese Premier League. The current standings are on a knife-edge, with only five points separating the top four. Despite recent struggles on the road, losing three out of the past four games, the Dragons need to regain momentum in their away game against their city rivals, traditionally an easy match. Porto has enjoyed consistent success at the Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI, not experiencing defeat since 2008 and triumphing over Boavista in 10 of the last 11 away games. Boavista, meanwhile, struggles when facing their local rivals, their last victory dating back to October 22nd of the previous year, with a shocking seven losses in the last eight Primeira Liga matches. With such poor results, Boavista cannot pose a threat to Porto, who need to avoid another away game loss if they want to stay competitive with league leaders Sporting.

Boavista team news
Boavista finds itself in the midst of a serious slump in results over the past few months, and Ricardo Paiva‘s tenure hasn’t kicked off on the desired note as his team suffered their seventh defeat in the last eight competitive matches, losing narrowly 0-1 to Gil Vicente in an away fixture.
Besides the injured backup goalkeeper Cesar and left-back Augusto Dabo, the newly appointed manager can’t rely on the services of two regular defenders, as the Nigerian duo Chidozie Awaziem and Bruno Onyemacechi received a call-up for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.

Porto team news
Meanwhile, Porto will visit city rivals Boavista without experienced centre-back Ivan Marcano who is out for at least another four months with a serious ligament injury, while 40-year-old Pepe is serving the final match of his suspension.
Dragoes boss Sergio Conceicao will also be unable to call up three key players for Friday’s showdown, as Zaidu (Nigeria) and Mehdi Taremi (Iran) are defending their national team’s colors at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Alan Varela has been handed a one-match suspension for accumulating yellow cards.
