THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat away to Rio Ave last weekend, continuing their poor form. Boavista are now winless in their last six matches in all competitions as they drift into the middle-of-the-table. Porto, under the management of Sergio Conceicao, hammered Mafra by three goals to nil during the midweek in the fourth round of Taca de Portugal. They have been inconsistent, in relative terms, in the league this season but will be expected to finish the pre-FIFA World Cup period with a comfortable victory in this one.
