Betting on C.D. Santa Clara
Their idea is to stay in the Primeira Liga, but for that they have to win, which has not happened for 5 matches as they have a record of 4 defeats and a draw. It’s one thing to want something; it’s quite another to actually do it. The last match against Casa Pia was complicated, because it was a visit to the home of a very solid team. But they almost got an improbable draw, because the winning goal fell during the 90+4 minute, which was a pity and a hard blow to the spirit.
They have not won at home since November, when they beat Estoril 3-1. They desperately need to improve on defense and avoid distractions that, like last game, cost them points.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Gabriel Batista; Diogo Calila, Kennedy Boateng, Italo, Paulo Hernique; Victor Bosbin, Adriano Firmino; Allano, Costinha, Gabriel Silva; Kyosuke Tagawa.
Betting on Boavista F.C.
They have a record of only two wins in the last 10 league games, better than Santa Clara, but it’s not enough to go out and celebrate. Only 6 points separate them from the European places, but their inconsistency could cost them the chance to compete.
The good news is that they won their match last matchday 4-2 at home against Portimonense, which gave them a lot of confidence. They showed a solid performance collectively, helped by Yusupha Nije, who scored a brace.
By winning, they start to put pressure on the middle of the table, which is now very tight. The thing is that they have not won away since September last year, when they beat Arouca 1-2 in matchday 6.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Rafael Bracali; Pedro Malheiro, Vincent Sasso, Rodrigo Abascal, Bruno Onyemaechi; Sebastian Perez; Salvador Agra, Ilija Vukotic, Ibrahima Camará, Ricardo Mangas; Yusupha Nije.
JefeBet Prediction
Santa Clara has won only two games at home, and although Boavista is not the best visitor in the world, we believe they will be able to get a good result and draw against the açoreanos that have improved, but are unlucky.
Prediction: Santa Clara 1-1 Boavista.
