The 2022/23 Portuguese Primeira Liga continues this week and the first fixture to be played is between Estoril Praia and Boavista.
The match will be played on the 9th of February at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota and the hosts begin the weekend in 14th place on 19 points while the visitors are in 9th place on 25 points.
Estoril Praia come into the game on the back of a 1-0 loss at home against Vitoria Guimaraes in the Primeira Liga last weekend. The only goal of the match was scored in the 11th minute and despite having plenty of time to get the equaliser, Estoril Praia failed to find the back of the net.

That result means Estoril Praia have lost each of their last 3 fixtures, all of which have been in the league. In addition to the loss last weekend, Estoril Praia were beaten 1-0 at both Maritimo and Famalicão.
We must go back to the 15th of January to find the last time Estoril Praia won a game and they beat Casa Pia 2-0 at home.
Trends show Estoril Praia have failed to score a goal in their last 3 matches and they have seen under 2.5 goals scored in each of their last 6 games in all competitions. Home form in the Primeira Liga shows Estoril Praia have recorded just a single victory from their last 6 matches.
Boavista make the trip to the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota having been held to a 2-2 draw at Santa Clara last weekend in the league.
Boavista opened the scoring in the 13th minute but conceded the equaliser on the hour. It took only 4 minutes for Boavista to get back in-front but they conceded again 4 minutes from time.
Trends show Boavista are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 games, all of which have come in the league. However, they are not finding it easy to win matches and Boavista have recorded only 2 wins from their 11 most recent Primeira Liga fixtures.
Away form in the league has been poor and Boavista have lost 4 of their last 5 away Primeira Liga matches, picking up just 1 point from the last 15 available on the road.
Boavista have not suffered any defeats in their 6 most recent matches against Estoril Praia in the Primeira Liga.
Team news and Estoril Praia have no injury or suspension concerns ahead of this match and should be at full strength.
Boavista have doubts over the inclusion of Filipe Ferreira due to a concussion.
This is a tough match to call because both teams have been struggling to win games recently.
With that in mind and the fact Estoril Praia have failed to beat Boavista in their previous 6 meetings, we expect this one to end level, with under 2.5 goals scored.
