Both teams are in dire form, with Boavista winless in their last 11 matches and Estrela Amadora failing to secure victory in six consecutive games.

Interesting Fact:

Team Analysis

Boavista

Boavista’s struggles continue, as they remain rooted to the bottom of the table with just 12 points. Their last victory came in early November, and since then, Cristiano Bacci’s men have endured a torrid run of 11 straight winless matches, including seven consecutive losses.

With relegation looming, Boavista desperately need to turn their fortunes around. However, their dismal home record provides little optimism, as they are yet to register a league victory at Estádio do Bessa this season.

Form:

• Last 5 matches: L-L-L-L-L
• Last match: 1-2 loss vs Estoril Praia (Primeira Liga)

Key Players:

• Miguel Reisinho: The club’s top scorer with four goals.
• Róbert Bozeník: Has netted three times this season.

Injuries/Suspensions:

• Rodrigo Abascal (suspended – final game of a three-match ban)
• Ibrahima Camara (suspended – accumulation of yellow cards)
• Joao Goncalves (out, knee injury)
• Morales Pires (out, knee injury)

Estrela Amadora

Estrela Amadora are also struggling, sitting 16th with just 17 points. Their away form is particularly concerning, as they are one of only two teams yet to win an away game this season.

José Faria’s side have failed to win any of their last six matches, but they will take some encouragement from their previous 3-1 victory against Boavista in 2023. A positive result in this fixture would be crucial in their battle to avoid relegation.
