Portuguesa RJ Boavista betting prediction

The home team is currently in the ª position of the league, with no points won yet, after 6 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Cabofriense, by (1‑4). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Flamengo, by (2‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In the last 5 home league matches Portuguesa RJ has a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, so they have won 12 points out of 15 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

In the last 6 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

It is worth mentioning that in their last performance, they were winning against Flamengo until the forty-four minutes of the second half, where they then suffered an incredible turn of events, losing by the score of 2X1, but surely Portuguesa managed to show their value.
