Maritimo vs Tondela Predictions

Maritimo were beaten 3-1 away at Aves last weekend but will be hopeful of building upon their last result at home which saw Sporting CP held to a 1-1 draw. Tondela lost at home 2-1 to Portimonense last time out but were able to salvage a goalless draw from their last away game against Vitoria Setubal.

Maritimo have a great record against Tondela and all the stats point towards a win and a clean sheet for the hosts on Sunday. Both teams have a point to their names following the opening two games of the new season but the visitors have struggled to score goals of late and that could be their undoing this weekend.

Maritimo have won six of the pairs’ eight previous meetings and have managed to keep clean sheets in three of their last four victories against Sunday’s guests. The hosts have won all of their previous four home games against Tondela and kept clean sheets on each occasion, and the last three home wins have all ended in the same 2-0 scoreline.

Both teams head into Sunday’s match in contrasting form over their last month or so, with Maritimo have won three of their last six matches and Tondela have lost three of their last six. The visitors have failed to score in four of their last five matches, against Vitoria Setubal, Penafiel, Boavista, and Sporting Braga, all of which we’re away from home.

We’re confident that Maritimo will win to nil on Sunday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts are the form favourites and have a great record against their guests, especially at home where they have always won. Tondela haven’t scored in four of their last five matches which doesn’t bode well heading into another tricky away game this weekend.
