Maritimo Preview – Can Maritimo pull away from bottom three?
Maritimo were handed a fifth defeat in seven matches overall in the Portuguese top flight on Monday night when they lost 3-2 away from home at Portimonense, and the hosts face another tough battle this Monday evening when they play host to 2nd placed Benfica despite being at their Estádio dos Barreiros.
Defeats to Belenenses, Sporting Braga, Moreirense, Porto and Portimonense have meant that Maritimo still haven’t quite shaken off the bottom two in the Primeira Liga although they do hold an important four-point cushion over second from bottom outfit, Portimonense.
Recent results at home have been a mixed bag for Maritimo as they’ve managed to pick up wins against Boavista, Pacos Ferreira and Gil Vicente but they’ve also been on the end of defeats to Desportivo Aves and Sporting Braga in recent times too.
Benfica Preview – Can Benfica bounce back?
A 4-3 defeat at home to Santa Clara produced one of the shock results in this season’s Primeira Liga campaign to date as Benfica suffered a disappointing defeat last time out which has left the visitors three points behind league leaders, Porto.
Benfica had previously strung together a six-match unbeaten run overall in the Portuguese top flight which included wins against Gil Vicente and Rio Ave as well as four draws, but they need to grab all three points in Monday’s clash at Maritimo if they’re to stay in the race for a possible title challenge.
In actual fact, Benfica have performed better away from home in recent times so this may well help the visitors here, following wins picked up at Sporting CP, Pacos Ferreira, Gil Vicente and Rio Ave amidst an overall away record which stands at 11-2-1 28/10 and they’ll be keen to return to winning ways against a Maritimo outfit who are struggling right now.
