On the 23rd of October, in this week 10 match, Vitória SC plays host to Boavista in a meeting of these two closely matched Primeira Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, a perfect day for football. Vitória SC is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Paços de Ferreira. Nelson Conceicao da Luz struck first for Vitória SC in the 9th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Paços de Ferreira couldn’t muster any offence and Vitória SC ran away with the shutout win. Vitória SC is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 6th placed Boavista, recorded a 1-1 draw against Marítimo. Sebastián Pérez struck first for Boavista in the 22nd minute on a feed from Pedro Jorge Goncalves Malheiro, then André Vidigal got the equalizer for Marítimo in the 56th minute on a feed from Bruno Xadas earning them at least the one point. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Boavista should be reasonably happy with their performance.

Boavista’s most prolific scorer has been Bruno Lourenco. He has netted two goals over the last five matches. Both Ruben Lameiras and Anderson Silva have been the hottest scorers for Vitória SC in the last five each having scored 2 goals each.
