Boavista vs Porto: Liga Portugal 2023/24 Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups
In Friday’s Primeira Liga evening match, Porto will travel to Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI to take on local rivals Boavista. Boavista enters the game positioned 13th in the league, having garnered 16 points from 15 matches. In contrast, Porto stands third in the league table, amassing 34 points in the same number of games.
Boavista’s 2023 season started strong with four wins and a draw in their initial five league games, placing them in the league’s top seven. However, post the October international break, their form declined drastically, going winless in the subsequent 10 matches, losing seven times. A recent 1-0 loss to 14th-placed Gil Vicente intensified relegation concerns, with only a four-point gap from the relegation playoff position. Former coach Petit departed due to the poor run, leaving interim coach Ricardo Paiva with the task of averting a potential relegation battle. Additionally, Boavista’s chances appear slim against Porto, having not defeated them in their last 16 encounters, with 15 losses and a single draw.
Porto aims to start the New Year strongly, eyeing a victory that could temporarily place them second in the league, with Benfica playing later. Under Sergio Conceicao, Porto has secured 11 wins, a draw, and three losses in 15 matches, boasting the league’s second-best defensive record, conceding only 11 goals. While a recent 2-0 loss to Sporting widened their gap to three points, it was just their second away defeat this season, the first being against Benfica. Encouragingly, Porto has dominated their upcoming venue, winning their last seven encounters and outscoring their rival 43-5 during this unbeaten run, signaling favorable odds for a Porto win.

Boavista probable starting lineup: Goncalves, Malheiro, Abascal, Ferreira, Miguel, Vukotic, Reisinho, Morais, Lourenco, Agra, Bozenik
