Porto take on the visitors Boavista in the round 6 match of Portugal Primera Liga. The match will be played at Estadio do Dragao (Porto) on Friday, September 23rd.
Porto slowed down their pace after their gained the place in the Champions League group stage, beating AS Roma in style at their turf. This unexpected win was followed by the series of quite mediocre results with only one win (3-0 over Guimaraes) in four matches, losing to Sporting, 1-2, and drawing with Copenhagen, 1-1, and Tondela, 0-0. So, the hosting side is currently third in the league with 10 points after five matches and three points behind the leaders. Porto played three home fixtures this season, taking two wins and one draw.

Boavista started with three-match undefeated run but it was followed by two defeats to Braga, 0-3 and to Feirense, 1-2. The Panthers are currently 12th in the Portugal elite league with five points gained. The visiting side have big problems with taking wins on the road as the most recent away victory was recorded in the beginning of March and six following matches ended with three defeats and three draws.
Porto haven’t conceded a single goal in head-to-heads with Boavista since 2007. The teams met seven times since then and five of these games ended with wins of today’s hosts. We should expect the host to show their real strength in clash with such convenient opponents and to take confident home win, who are clearly are of much lower level.
Prediction for the match: Porto to win with -1,5 Asian handicap.
