• Maritimo dominated possession in the first leg of this tie despite losing 2-1.
• Estrela have two defeats in their last five.

Play-off finely poised in Portugal

Estrela hold a slender 2-1 lead after victory in the first leg but Maritimo will feel this tie is still very much within their control.

Maritimo may have ended up in the danger zone in Portugal’s top tier but they managed some good results at home towards the end of the campaign.

The hosts won six of their final 11 games, with one draw. Three of their four defeats during that run came against the top three and the other came at the hands of Guimaraes, who finished sixth.

The first leg was a fairly even affair and with home advantage Maritimo should be expected to win this return meeting.

A 3-1 win for Maritimo is the correct score prediction as they scored at least three goals in three of their last four home wins, while Estrela should be expected to score as they have managed to get on the scoresheet in 10 consecutive away games.

Maritimo’s Andre Filipe Cunha Vidigal has three goals in his last eight games and looks a contender for a goal at anytime.
