FC Porto hosts Maritimo in round 26 of Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 10th at Estádio do Dragão (Porto)
To put it mildly, Porto showed a bad game after quarantine. The Dragons lost (1-2) to the opening of the current season, which is called Famalicao, and this team continues to be in the top five, although 25 rounds are already behind. This Porto’s misfire allowed Benfica to head the standings, and now the teams have the same number of points, 60 points each. Of course, a very hot time begins for these teams since any misfire in the fight for gold can be fatal. Now the Dragons do not even have the right to think about losing points in a match with Maritimo. Moreover, they will play on their pitch. Porto usually gains confident victories over such collectives as Maritimo, especially on the home field. If we look at head-to-head matches, the Dragons hosted Maritimo 24 times and gained 22 victories, and most of these victories had a difference of two goals or more.

Maritimo is an absolutely ordinary and dull team of the Portuguese championship. Now the team is six points ahead of the relegation zone, and it can’t win for four matches in a row. Of course, Maritimo needs to wait for matches with much simpler opponents if it wants to replenish its piggy bank with points. The matches against the Dragons have never been particularly successful, and Porto is angry after losing in the last round, so Maritimo will have serious problems in the upcoming match. These teams have different levels and different tasks for the rest of the season. If the visitors don’t suffer a hammering defeat, it will be a good result for them.
Bookmakers offer an extremely small coefficient on the hosts’ clear victory, so you need to add a minus handicap. I believe that Porto’s defeat in the last round happened only due to a long pause, and the Dragons will show their real strength in the upcoming match. I’ll bet on Porto’s victory with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: FC Porto to win with -1.5 handicap
