Boavista vs Vitoria Setúbal
Portugal – Primeira Liga
Date: Wednesday, 2nd January 2019
Kick-off at 18.00 UK/ 19.00 CET
Venue: Estádio do Bessa Século XXI (Porto).
Boavista welcomes Vitoria de Setubal to their home ground for the 15th round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, at the Estádio do Bessa Século XXI.
Vitoria de Setubal is 11th in the table after recording 17 points till now. They won 5 games, drew 2 and lost 7. They found the net a total of 15 times and conceded 17 times.
Boavista occupies the 13th spot in the league table and got 13 points till this stage. They registered 3 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. Boavista scored a total of 11 goals in all their league matches this season and conceded 17.
Last week, Boavista lost against Moreirense, away from home. The match ended 2-1. Meanwhile, Vitoria de Setubal lost against Braga, at home, in their last fixture, and the final score was 0-4.
Setubal is going through one of the worst patches of their season. They have lost their last five games in a row. The team conceded 11 goals in those five games and could score only a total of one goal back. Once more they are adorned with the away status for a game, and against Boavista, whom they have struggled against historically, and especially in the past decade.
At this venue, Boavista boasts a 100% unbeaten record against Setubal, and the record stretches back to 1999. Setubal has not scored a single goal against Boavista at this stadium in the past 12 years. The last time Setubal was able to find the net was in 2007.
Boavista will easily win either of the halves, and in all probabilities, the game, and keep a clean sheet as well.
