Before the situation becomes critical, Cristiano Bacca team is only one point behind the saving 15th place and has a chance to escape from the bottom today.

2.17Tip and bets
In a home match against a direct competitor, Boavista will certainly set the highest goals for itself and play only to win in an attempt to escape the relegation zone. Surely, the "chess" will go forward with a large force right away and it is unlikely that Arouca has a real chance to hold out and play to zero, there is no reliability in defense. At the same time, the guests are unlikely to only defend and are quite capable of counting on all three points - in the last two matches against Boavista, Arouca scored six goals, and will probably play for one goal today.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.09
Bet on the outcome
Boavista is in a clear crisis and has not yet found a way to end its losing streak, and today they will face a direct competitor and there is a risk of ending up last in the table. The hosts will certainly try to take three points at home, but Arouca is not an easy opponent, and despite not being in the best shape, they are quite capable of putting up a fight in such an important match. It is unlikely that the visitors will be able to take all three points, but they are quite capable of holding out and holding a draw, especially since such an outcome will not be a disaster for the "chess" team either.
Bet - Draw. This bet is offered for 3.19
Bet on corners
Boavista will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Arouca is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
