Maritimo vs Feirense Predictions

Maritimo remain in the fight against relegation and currently sit three points above the drop zone heading into Sunday’s match against bottom of the table Feirense. The visitors are all but down and could have their return to the second tier of Portuguese football confirmed this weekend if they lose and both Boavista and Tondela move beyond the thirty-point mark.

Vitoria Setubal and Maritimo produced a very tight, tense, and competitive ninety minutes when they locked horns last weekend, but it was a solitary strike from Cádiz in the first half that handed Setubal all three points. Feirense took the lead in the tenth minute against league leaders Benfica through Sturgeon, but the visitors scored twice before the break and two more times in the second half to win the game 4-1 and extend Feirense’s ever increasing winless run.

The head to head record between these two clubs and their performances over the last month or so, suggests to us that Maritimo are the most likely winners of Sunday’s match and that both teams are likely to get on the scoreboard. Maritimo have won five of their last six home games against Feirense, and both teams have scored in four of the last six encounters between these two clubs. Maritimo are unbeaten in their last three home games, while Feirense have only won two games in the Primeira Liga this season and have only picked up two points from their last five away games.

Joel top scores for the hosts this season with five goals in the Primeira Liga, while Edinho leads the way in front of goal for the visitors with four league goals. We’re confident that Maritimo will win on Sunday, and have backed the scoreline to end 2-1. Maritimo are strongest at home and go up against a Feirense side that have only won two games in the league all season long, but neither side have kept many clean sheets this season which is why we believe both teams will score this weekend.
