Maritimo haven’t lost a single league match since the middle of December, for six matches in a row. Such nice streak of results allowed the team to move on sixth place in the standings with 31 points gained and 18-16 aggregate goal difference. The visiting side stick to defensive style of football in their away matches and managed to gain 11 points in 10 games on the road with four goals scored and eight allowed. We should also note that the team avoided defeats in their last three away matches and the recent defeat on the road was recorded in the middle of December at Porto, 1-2.
Neither of the opponents prefer to play an end-to-end football and their matches rarely end with a high-scoring results. This goes for Maritimo away record as well. We have no reason to expect the team to break their rules and the results of the match should be low-scoring one.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 goals.
