In this week 13 match on Nov 12th, Boavista plays host to Porto in a meeting of these two Primeira Liga teams in the anticipated Porto derby. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which is great football weather. 9th placed Boavista is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Rio Ave. Emmanuel Boateng struck first for Rio Ave in the 64th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Boavista couldn’t muster any offence and Rio Ave ran away with the shutout win. Boavista is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 2nd placed Porto, recorded a 4-0 shutout win against Paços de Ferreira. Evanilson struck first for Porto in the 4th minute on a feed from Stephen Eustáquio, then Mehdi Taremi added another in the 31st minute In the end, Paços de Ferreira was frustrated by Porto’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Porto ended the match with the shutout victory. Porto should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Porto won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Porto is glad to have Mehdi Taremi in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals. Sebastián Pérez and Salvador Agra are the top scorers for Boavista in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
