Portimonense take on the visitors Boavista at “Estadio Municipal de Portimao” in the opening gameweek of the Portuguese Primeira Liga of 2017/2018 season. The match will be played in Portimao on Monday, August 7th.
Last season Portimonense became the strongest team of the Portugal’s Segunda Liga having gained 83 points with 70-39 goal difference in 42 clashes. This summer the team has actively played friendly encounters without a great success: two wins and five defeats taken in seven matches. Speaking about Portimonense’s results at their home field it should be mentioned that the club got 16 victories, three draws and two losses in 21 games of the last season.

Boavista finished last season sitting on the ninth place with 43 points earned and 33-36 goal difference. This summer “Os Axadrezados” have played six friendlies recording three triumphs, two draws and one defeat in them. While playing the friendly games Boavista kept on using the defense tactics having scored seven goals for and two goals against. The club earned three victories, four draws and only two losses out of nine battles on the road this year.
The teams’ head-to-heads consist of only three clashes resulting in two victories taken by Portimonense 1:0, 2:1 and single fight won by Boavista 1:0. Taking into account the close football of the visiting side as well as the debut encounter on the elite level for the hosts, I don’t believe that the forthcoming game will be full of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
