Marítimo Preview
Marítimo is a team that has sadly failed to get off the ground in the 14 matches they have played in the Primeira Liga. With just one win, 4 draws and 9 defeats, they are in the penultimate position in the standings and so far are in relegation zone along with Paços Ferreira. In addition, they are weak offensively with only 9 goals scored, and their defense leaves much to be desired, having conceded 28 goals for a total goal difference of -19.
However, despite this bleak outlook, their last five games have had a different outcome that may be a ray of hope for their future. In fact, they have one win vs Paços Ferreira, three draws (1-1 vs Arouca; 0-0 vs Famalicão; 1-1 vs Rio Ave) and one loss vs Vitória Guimarães 1-0.
While three draws is not usually seen as an improvement, it is for a team that had a long losing streak and got its first win of the season. André Vidigal and Ramírez scored the goals in the last two games.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Victor; China, M Costa, Junior, V Costa, Pelagio, Guitane, Guitane, Beltrame, Alipour, Tagueu.
Sporting Lisbon Preview
In contrast, we have a tremendously winning team, Sporting Lisbon, which is in fourth place in the Primeira Liga standings and currently qualifying for the Conference League. They are 4, 6 and 9 points behind leaders Porto, Braga and Benfica, respectively.
In the 14 games they have played, they have won 9, drawn one and lost 4. In addition, they have scored an incredible 29 goals, conceding a total of 15 goals, leaving them with a 14 goal difference. This is a tremendously favorable result that secures his fourth place.
Regarding their last five matches in the Primeira Liga, they have won 4 (3-1 vs Casa Pia; 3-0 vs Vitória Guimarães; 1-2 vs Famalicão and 3-0 vs Paços de Ferreira) and lost one 1-0 vs Arouca.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Adan, Inacio, Neto, Feddal, Porro, Nunes, Braganca, Reis, Paulinho, Goncalves, Sarabia.
JefeBet Prediction
Accordingly, Sporting Lisbon will have a sweeping victory against a team that has not achieved its best level or even consistency in victories. Nevertheless, Marítimo will put up a fight and will try to maintain its rhythm of few defeats, draws and victories.
Prediction: Sporting Lisbon win 3-1.
