Farense - Boavista predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.13, the bookies made it clear that Farense are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The matchup this Friday is rather one-sided, with Boavista seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.72, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Farense’s latest Primeira Liga match could have gone much worse than the Arouca defeat. Knowing they were priced at huge 5.23 to win, a narrow HT/FT loss is nothing to be too disappointed with.

Boavista’s previous outing at their home stadium ended inconclusively. However, they kicked off as clear underdogs compared to Rio Ave, who were the away team. With that in mind, the 0:0 score at the end is not that disappointing.

The last 3 times we saw Farense play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Boavista have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Primeira Liga. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 2.13 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Farense won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Friday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

A Home Win at the odds of 2.19 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
