Turning their attention back to Primeira Liga action on Monday night, Casa Pia will travel to the Estadio do Bessa when they meet Boavista.
Boavista
Starting with the hosts, while Boavista might have eventually clung to their Primeira Liga status last season, the Panthers are seeking a major miracle this time around. Enduring a real domestic struggle, Cristiano Bacci finds his squad sat rock-bottom of the table and pencilled in as a leading relegation candidate in 2025. Last seen putting in another nightmare performance as they got the New Year underway with a 3-1 drumming at home against Arouca, the former Udinese coach has an almighty job on his hands. Heading into Portugal’s festive break with a routine 4-0 loss against Porto, Bacci’s men have put just 12 points on the board from any of their 17 Primeira Liga appearances so far this season. Likewise, Boavista have failed to claim a single victory at the Estadio do Bessa over the past 10 months.
Boavista Team News
Shown a first-half red card against Arouca last time out, Colombian international Sebastian Perez will miss out through suspension here. However, serving his own respective one-match ban on January 4th, former Penarol defender Rodrigo Abascal Barros will return to Boavista’s squad on Monday night.
Not making a single appearance since the end of August, academy graduate Joao Goncalves remains on the sidelines with a long-term knee injury. While ex-Feyenoord striker Robert Bozenik might have notched just a single Primeira Liga strike so far this season, the 25-year-old should keep his spot leading the line.
Casa Pia
As for the visitors, while Casa Pia might have watched their Taco de Portugal adventure come to an end last week, Joao Pereira’s side have enjoyed a sensational Primeira Liga romp this season. Continuing to receive a string of plaudits from across Portugal’s elite, the Lisbon-based outfit find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Heading into the festive break with a stellar 2-1 victory away at Braga, Monday’s guests have collected 10 points from their previous Primeira Liga showdowns. Collecting some real heavyweight scalps this season, Casa Pia have also lost just one of their previous nine appearances – a run that stems all the way back to October 5th. It should also be highlighted, Pereira’s side have collected consecutive victories outside of the Lisbon for the first time over the past 12 months.
