Boavista vs Famalicao Prediction 31.01.2025 | Primeira Liga

• Competition: Portugal - Primeira Liga
• Date: Friday, 31st, January 2025
• Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CEST
• Venue: Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI (Porto)

Looking to boost their chances of staying up, Boavista will welcome a struggling Famalicao side to Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI for a Friday night Primeira Liga clash.

With eleven straight campaigns in the Portuguese elite, Boavista now find themselves in real danger of dropping down, as their results have been underwhelming, and to make matters worse, there are no clear indications of a turnaround. With a poor tally of just 12 points and only two triumphs from 19 top-flight games, the Chequered ones are mired at the foot of the league table, while a six-point deficit from the safety zone puts them in an increasingly dire situation as the season progresses.

Despite being the financially strongest club in the Primeira Liga, just behind the "Big Four", Famalicao have fallen short of expectations this season, with poor results leading them to a battle in the lower half of the table rather than competing for European spots, although they are not in danger, at least for now. Unexpectedly poor results led to the sacking of coach Armando Evangelista, who was replaced by Hugo Oliveira, but unfortunately, the newly appointed manager has failed to bring the desired turnaround and is still waiting for his first win since taking over Fama’s helm on December 10.

Boavista vs Famalicao Betting Tips: DRAW

Overall, neither team brings much optimism here, making it highly likely that both will continue their wdry spell in what promises to be a tightly contested match with no winner on Friday. Surprisingly, Boavista have been more successful in their away matches than on home soil, where they are still searching for their first victory in front of their own supporters, having earned just three points in that dismal stretch. Famalicao are no better off, having failed to beat anyone since since their dramatic 3-2 triumph over AVS on November 3, a barren streak that spans 10 consecutive matches without a win, although half of those battles saw them share the spoils. Two of the last three encounters between the teams ended in a tie, and we’re hoping that this one could also finish without a winner, with both sides struggling to find the recipe for success.
