Famalicao vs Boavista prediction 04.03.2024

• Competition: Liga Portugal
• Date: Monday, 4th March 2024
• Kickoff: 20:15 UTC / 21:15 CET
• Venue: Estadio Municipal de Famalicao (Vila Nova de Famalicao)

Famalicao has predominantly been a mid-table team since they joined Portugal’s top-flight division in the 2019/20 season, usually ending between 6th and 9th place. They are currently on track for another mid-table finish this season, as they currently hold the 8th position with 26 points from 22 rounds. However, their 8th place position isn’t as secure as it may seem, given the narrow four-point gap between them and the relegation zone. Despite having played one game less, a couple of poor results could quickly push them towards the danger zone.

Boavista, participating in their 10th straight season in Liga Portugal, were traditionally a mid-table team. This year, the Porto-based team had a strong start, maintaining a position in the European spots after the first nine rounds. However, this performance declined as the season continued. Currently, they rank 12th and are only a slim two points away from the relegation playoff. Given Boavista’s challenging remaining schedule, securing points in this game is critical.

Famalicao vs Boavista pick: Both teams to score

Famalicao have not been performing well offensively this season. Their record, with 23 goals scored, places them alongside three other teams as the second worst offensive team in Liga Portugal. However, they have managed to score consistently in recent matches, managing to score at least once in six of the last seven games. In their previous two matches against Rio Ave and Arouca, they even managed to score twice per game. Despite their unimpressive offensive record, we are confident they will score against Boavista, who have managed only one clean sheet in 23 rounds.

Boavista ranks second in this betting category, with both teams scoring in 70% of their league games. Only Braga has a marginally higher percentage at 74. While their defense is notably poor, as previously stated, their 30 scored goals put them significantly above the league’s average.

In the recent five head-to-head games, both teams managed to score in four of them. Taking into account these previous head-to-head matches, we anticipate another game where both teams will score.
