The hosts are bottom of the Expected Points table this term
Boavista have claimed four of their five wins on the road, claiming back-to-back wins to nil away from home
Boavista can boost survival hopes
Boavista are aiming to climb off the bottom of the Primeira Liga on Monday night when they visit third-bottom AVS. Just three points separate these two sides, thanks to the hosts going on a dire run which has seen them claim one point from their last seven matches.
That run from AVS has brought them back down to earth, as they’ve got the worst underlying performance numbers in the Primeira Liga this term. The hosts were thumped 6-0 by Benfica last weekend, while they’ve lost to nil against Estoril and Arouca in their last three home matches.
Boavista have won just five times this season, but four of those victories have come on the road. They’ve won back-to-back away games without conceding heading into this trip, while they’ve won three of four clashes with the bottom six away from home.
Boavista can continue that improved form against an AVS side who appear to be dropping towards the bottom of the standings. The visitors are well-priced despite some recent success on their travels, so back them to edge this clash.
