Belenenses vs Boavista Predictions

Belenenses are yet to score in the league this season but picked up their second point of the campaign courtesy of a 0-0 draw away at Santa Clara last weekend, while Boavista were also held to a draw at home to Pacos de Ferreira but remain unbeaten in their opening three matches.

All of the stats and the recent history between these two clubs point towards a low scoring game that is most likely to end in a draw on Friday night.

The last eleven meetings between these two clubs, stretching back to 2014, have all produced under 2.5 goals. Four of the pairs’ last eleven encounters have ended in draws, three of which ended goalless, in 2014, 2016, and 2018. Both teams have scored in just one of the pairs last eleven meetings which just shows how tight and tense these games have become in recent seasons.

The form and performances of both clubs also heavily suggest we will be in for a low-scoring draw on Friday, as Belenenses’ last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals as have five of Boavista’s last six games. The hosts have drawn two of their last three matches, both ending goalless, while their guests on Friday have drawn three of their last five matches, and on each occasion under 2.5 goals have been produced.

Belenenses have failed to score in their last five matches and Boavista have failed to score in three of their last six, but the visitors remain unbeaten in the league so far this season and boast a good head to head record against their hosts which is another why we think this game will end in a draw. Beleneneses haven’t won any of their last five matches against Boavista but three of those encounters have ended in stalemates.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be scored and that Friday’s game will end in a draw, with a predicted final scoreline of 0-0. The hosts are struggling for goals but have kept two clean sheets in their last three attempts and their guests have draw the majority of their last five matches and remain unbeaten in the Primeira Liga this season.
