Maritimo vs Boavista Predictions

• Boavista have proven hard to beat on the road this season.
• Maritimo have only won two games so far this season.
• The hosts are without a win in their last nine matches in all competitions.
• Boavista could move back into the top five with a win on Saturday.

The visitors are strong away from home but need to add more goals to their game

Boavista have won three of their last five matches against Maritimo and Saturday’s hosts haven’t won any of their last six league games, picking up four draws and two defeats, while the visitors have won two of their last five matches, including their last away game against Santa Clara which finished 2-1.

Both teams scored in three of Maritimo’s last five matches and both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in Boavista’s last two matches, so you can see why we have backed a final scoreline of 2-1 this weekend. Maritimo have only won once at home this season and Boavista have only lost once on the road, which is why we have gone with a double chance bet in favour of the visitors this weekend.

Maritimo average 1.00 points per home game which is below the league average while Boavista average 1.50 points per away game which is above the league average, and this is why we believe the visitors will claim a narrow victory on Saturday. Maritimo score an average of 1.43 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.71 goals while Boavista concede an average of 0.67 goals per away game and have only lost 17% of their away games, all of which adds weight to our prediction for a 2-1 win for Boavista.

Not enough wins and too many draws are the reason Maritimo are struggling

Maritimo’s home games produce an average of 3.14 goals and both teams have scored in 100% of those matches, while both teams have scored in 50% of Boavista’s away games. The hosts are yet to keep a clean sheet at home while Boavista have only kept clean sheets in 33% of their away games, which is why we are expecting both teams to score this weekend. A majority of Boavista’s wins this season have been obtained with a one-goal margin (3 wins), and that is another reason to back a narrow 2-1 away win on Saturday.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on the visitors will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Boavista have outplayed the hosts so far this season and have proven a very tricky team to defeat on the road, while Maritimo have struggled for wins home and away which makes a double chance bet on Boavista look like the best option for Saturday’s clash.
