Boavista - Estrela Amadora predictions

Boavista may come out on top this Saturday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Estrela Amadora. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.73 for the hosts to win.

The visiting team knows that beating Boavista on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

When we talk about Boavista’s previous Primeira Liga result, it’s fair to say hosts can be pretty happy to have avoided a heavier defeat. They were the 5.10 underdogs last time out and a narrow Arouca HT/FT loss is not something to scoff at.

Estrela Amadora’s home performance against Rio Ave in the previous round wasn’t spectacular, ending in a 2:2 stalemate. Neither side managed to pull ahead, but Estrela Amadora can be happier with this outcome considering the balance of power wasn’t in their favour.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI this Saturday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Estrela Amadora's backline has much to be wished for

Earlier in the season, Boavista lost an away game against Estrela Amadora, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 2.73 odds for a home win in mind.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.10 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
