Nova Iguacu vs Boavista Prediction & Betting Tips (15 February)

Nova Iguacu boast an impressive recent home record at the top table of the Carioca, securing 13 victories in 18 attempts, one of which was a success against these opponents back this year. Speaking of Boavista, they have struggled massively on the road of late, returning with zero points from 12 of their last 18 trips in the Carioca.

Under 3.5 goals has been the order of the day in 18 of the previous 18 Nova Iguacu home games in the league, with a defeat at the hands of Boavista included in this sequence. Speaking of the visitors, 18 of their last 21 away matches have also served up no more than three goals, so it would come as a surprise to see anything different when the two sides go head-to-head.

Over the course of their last 15 Carioca matches, Boavista have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 12 top-flight fixtures involving Nova Iguacu.
