Sporting-Boavista

Sporting - Boavista Predictions

Sporting CP has here one of the most complicated tests of this final stretch, although it works at home. Since they have said an unofficial farewell to the title battle, Lions are going through the best series of their era. With 3 successes in the last 3 days, the green and white team intends to maintain this positive sequence, even more in their Estádio José Alvalade where it is always favorite. However, this Boavista seems to be a real obstacle for any team this season. Since their return to the national soccer elite, the Axadrezados seem to be stabilizing. Their 10th place may not impress, however the claw that Boavista players leave on the pitch is to be welcomed. The relatively short number of defeats says it all: only 9 since the start of Liga NOS. And strange as it may seem, acting far from Porto does not frighten Boavista. What will it be like on this 28th day of the League?

Sporting - Boavista head to head

-Boavista is simply the 5th best First League outfit. In 14 games he has 4 wins, 7 draws and only 3 losses.
-In addition, in those 14 trips, the Axadrezados conceded only 15 goals. Average very slightly above goal / distance. In addition, he has not conceded any goals in his last four trips.
-However, Boavista is also not one of the most accomplished teams, not even out of home, when it feels more comfortable. Average round of 1 goal per visit. In the famous 4 trips in which it seemed a wall, only managed 1 goal.
-It begins to be a tradition. Although Sporting have been receiving and winning Boavista in recent years, their victories have never been high. In the last 6 duels in Lisbon, only one victory per margin exceeds 1 goal.
-Sporting have had a peculiar appetite for goals in the first period. In the last 10 days, he always made 1 goal or more before the break.
-And coincidentally, of the few goals that Boavista is suffering away from home, the vast majority appears in the first part. Of the 15 who suffered, 10 appeared in the first half of the match!

Over 2.5 goals @ 1.80
