Boavista vs Casa Pia prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 20, 2025
Boavista
One of the matches of the 18th round of the Portuguese championship will take place on Monday at the "Bessa Seculo XXI" arena, where Boavista will host Casa Pia. We suggest betting on the outcome of this match with a good potential return.
Match preview
Before the season began, Boavista wasn’t listed among the favorites of the Primeira Liga, but neither was it considered a weak candidate for relegation. However, the first half of the season turned into a disaster for the "chess team." The team currently occupies the last position in the standings with only 12 points.
The situation is not yet critical—Cristiano Bacci's side is only four points away from the safe 15th place. This provides a chance for redemption, and the upcoming match could be a crucial step forward. It’s worth noting that following a crushing 0:4 defeat to Porto in the derby, Boavista lost again at home to Arouca with a score of 1:3.
Casa Pia entered this season with modest expectations, focusing on their primary goal: staying in the top tier of Portuguese football. The limited squad resources of Alexandre Santana's team didn’t allow for more ambitious plans. However, the club has shown that they can achieve this goal with some margin.
Currently occupying the seventh spot in the standings with 24 points, Casa Pia comfortably maintains a nine-point gap from the relegation zone. This cushion allows the team to look forward with optimism. Last year, they ended on a high note by defeating one of the league leaders, Braga, 2:1. However, they couldn’t extend their winning streak to three matches, drawing 1:1 at home against Famalicão in their last outing.
Probable lineups
- Boavista: César, Dabo, Ferreira, Gomes, Agra, Vukotic, Camara, Oniemaeche, Ribeiro, Reizinho, Bozenik.
