Naval vs Boavista

Very tactical game expected. Not many goal chances, with more concern on defensive strategy, and making another game without losing. Both teams could be happy with a draw...

Naval:
- Made a nice away result last week, winning on Beira-mar by 3-1. But performance was poor, they got 1-2 by an unexisting penalty, and 1-3 by a goal in clear off-side.
- Orestes and Nei, two key players are back in good form, and are the only ones in the team that really can be decisive in a game.
- They have more points on away games then on home games.
- Recently in poor form, maybe the last week result can change something on them.

Boavista:
- Lots of games without losing, but also, only 1 win in the last 7 matches. Is this good or bad? It was good, until they draw against Belenenses at home last weekend. Now, it seems everyone is talking about the lack of winnings, instead of period without losing.
- Very defensive team, with hard tackling, and based also on very strong and physicall midfield line up.
- They lost at home against Naval 0-1 on 1st half of the season. Looking for a small revenge here.
- They can catch Naval on league table if they win this one (both will be with 27 points).

Odds:
- Line opened with +0.25 for away side. This could be value, but only with odds around 2.00. I give this a very close estimation to 50-50% chance. But value isnt allways everything, and I can't call a winner pick here. Skip it.
- Clear UNDERish game. But, what's this? Line on 2 goals (?!?!), Under available with such low odds ("!#"!#$#)... damn bookies... have to skip it too.
