Maritimo vs Famalicao Predictions

• The previous two meetings between these two clubs have ended in draws.
• Famalicao have drawn five of their last ten league games.
• Both teams have scored in 69% of Maritimo’s home games and 62% of Famalicao’s away trips.

Maritimo lost 1-0 at Vitoria Guimaraes on Sunday but are safe from relegation heading into the final game of the season and could move up one place into 11th if they better Boavista’s result. Famalicao extended their unbeaten run to four matches courtesy of a 2-2 draw at home with Boavista on Saturday and just need to match Rio Ave’s result to ensure they claim 5th spot.

Our prediction for a draw on Saturday is based around the previous meetings between these two clubs and their form heading into the final game of the campaign. These two sides have only met twice before and on both occasions, the games have ended in stalemates. January’s reverse league fixture between the pair ended in a 1-1 draw and before that the duo played out a goalless draw in the Taca da Liga back in 2016. The visitors have drawn five of their last ten matches in the Primeira Liga and Maritimo have only lost one of their last five outings.

As for a final scoreline, we’re predicting a 1-1 draw between the pair as under 2.5 goals have been scored in each of their last two encounters, as well as in five of the hosts’ and five of the visitors’ last seven league games. Maritimo score an average of 1.31 goals per home game and concede 1.13 goals while Famalicao score and concede an average of 1.38 goals on the road, which ties in neatly with our prediction for a 1-1 draw this weekend.
