Boavista - Portimonense predictions

Boavista should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Portimonense can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

It would be a minor miracle for Portimonense to win at Boavista, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.15 price on most online sportsbooks.

Boavista’s most recent 2:0 defeat at the hands of Benfica was easily predictable, with most bookies pricing it at 1.16. Still, Boavista kept up for the first 45 minutes at an away game, which is still better than what betting predictions anticipated.

Portimonense previously played a home game, but that didn’t help them much. The odds were still against them from the get-go, and they quickly fell behind and never quite managed to recover. The end result was a $RESULT home defeat and a blow to their confidence.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

Portimonense can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

Portimonense will be aiming to climb the table and try to get into the upper half while there’s still time. As it stands, they’re just above the relegation zone. As such, their status as the clear underdogs in this matchup is somewhat worrying.

The two teams last met in the previous season when Boavista won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

Sunday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The Pncl sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.91, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
