Maritimo vs Portimonese Predictions

Maritimo’s poor run of form continued as they lost 2-0 away at newly-promoted Gil Vicente last weekend, while Portimonense could only manage a 1-1 draw at home against Santa Clara and both teams remain perilously close to the relegation places.

All of the stats point towards goals being scored by both teams this Sunday and we have backed the pair to play out a 1-1 draw.

Both teams scored in five of the last six meetings between these two clubs and the head to head record between the pair is level heading into Sunday’s clash at three wins, two draws, and three defeats apiece, so you can see why we’re backing both teams to score and the game to end all square this weekend.

The form of both teams this season and heading into Sunday’s clash only adds weight to our prediction of a draw, as Maritimo and Portimonense haven’t won any of their last six matches in all competitions. The hosts have drawn three of their last six matches, two of which ended 1-1, while their guests have also drawn three of their last six matches, all of which ended 1-1. Maritimo have only won once at home this season and Portimonese have only picked up one win on the road, adding further reason to back a draw between the pair this Sunday.

The performances of both clubs over the last month or so provide more reasons to back a 1-1 draw on Sunday, as both teams scored in four of Maritimo’s and four of Portimonense’s last six matches and the visitors haven’t kept any clean sheets in their last six attempts. both teams have played out a number of 1-1 draws in recent weeks and their last meetings, a friendly in the summer, also ended in a 1-1 draw.

We’re confident that both teams will score this weekend and we have p[redicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Neither teams head into this match with much confidence as they are in the midst of winless runs in all competitions. However, both teams have drawn a lot of games of late, six in their last twelve matches combined, and all of those matches have produced under 2.5 goals and five ended 1-1.
