Desportivo Aves vs Boavista Predictions

• Aves have only ever lost once at home to Boavista in 6 league and cup encounters.
• Aves have won 5 of their 6 home games against Boavista.
• Boavista are winless in their last 5 league games.
• Boavista have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 matches.

Aves have picked up all of their 9pts this season at home

Aves beat Portimonense in style last weekend, winning by three goals to nil, to move onto 9pts for the season, while Boavista lost 2-0 away at Rio Ave and have now failed to win any of their last five matches in the Primeira Liga. The hosts have won five of their six home games against Boavista, keeping clean sheets in four of those games, so have plenty of belief that they can claim a much-needed 3pts this Sunday.

Aves head into the game as the form favourites despite winning two and losing four of their last six matches, as Boavista have lost four of their last six games and only managed to win one and draw the other. The hosts have kept clean sheets in two of their last three home games while Boavista have failed to score in three of their last four matches, so you can see why we have backed Aves with a double chance bet and for the scoreline to end 1-0 in their favour.

The hosts have picked up three wins at home this season and are yet to draw in their own backyard, while Boavista have lost three times and drawn three times on the road. Aves average 1.13 points per home game while Boavista average 1.13 points per away game, which adds weight to our prediction for a double chance bet as the visitors could well hold on for a draw.

Boavista have struggled for goals on the road

Aves score an average of 1.25 goals per home game which is below the league average, but Boavista only score an average of 0.63 goals per away game so you can see why we have backed a 1-0 final score for the hosts this weekend. Only 12% of Boavista’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals and just 38% have seen both teams score, as have 38% of the hosts’ home games, all of which backs our prediction for a 1-0 final scoreline this Sunday.

Boavista have only scored 5 goals on the road this season while Aves have netted double that at home, and the hosts have kept clean sheets in 25% of their home games while the visitors have failed to score in half of their away games. Exactly 1-goal has been scored in 50% of Aves; home games this season as well as in 38% of Boavosta’s away games, and a majority of Boavista’s defeats this season (4) have had a 1-goal margin.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Aves is the best way to bet on Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. Aves won their last home game and kept a clean sheet and boast an excellent home record against Sunday’s guests. Boavista don’t score enough goals on the road but have defended well in their away games which is why we have backed a double chance bet as opposed to an outright home win.
