Maritimo hosts Vitoria Setubal in round 25 of Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Thursday, June 4th at Estádio dos Barreiros (Funchal)
Maritimo is holding a rather unfortunate season - the team is on the 15th line in the standings of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Eight points separate the hosts from the relegation zone, and it will be difficult to lose such an advantage. Now Maritimo has a real chance to earn three points and finally protect itself from relegation from the elite division. I can’t but note that the squad is doing quite well on its field - it suffered only four defeats in 12 home matches. The “Lions of Madeira" managed to offer battle to Porto, Guimaraes and Sporting at home, so why can’t they fight in a meeting with a convenient rival in the person of Setubal? If we look at the last eight matches at Estádio dos Barreiros, four victories of the hosts, three draws and only one victory of the visitors were recorded. It seems to me that the hosts have plenty of chances for success in the upcoming game.

Actually, Setubal is completely unmotivated for the remaining segment of the championship - now the team is on the 12th line in the standings. Of course, there is no way to rise to the quartet of the strongest, but the team is also 12 points ahead of the relegation zone. Like the overwhelming majority of the Portuguese teams, Vitoria very unsuccessfully acts on the road - in 12 away matches, the team managed to win only three times with four draws and five defeats. It seems to me that the visitors will again have problems since visits to Maritimo are rather hard for Setubal. Vitoria doesn’t have much motivation, so it will surely not work like a dog on the pitch.
In my opinion, it is worth betting on the hosts. Playing at home, Maritimo imposed a fight even on the teams from the top four of the standings, so Setubal, which looks weak at Estádio dos Barreiros, should not be a big problem for the Lions of Madeira. But I will bet on their victory with a zero handicap. Better safe than sorry!
Prediction for the match: Maritimo to win with 0.0 handicap
