A five-match losing streak is not the sort of form you want to be taking into an upcoming clash against Porto but this is exactly that fate that has befallen Monday night’s hosts, Maritimo, as they seek to avoid a sixth straight loss in the Primeira Liga.
Recent defeats against Pacos Ferreira, Vitoria Guimaraes, Sporting CP, Santa Clara and Tondela has landed Maritimo in deep trouble and bottom of the Portuguese top flight having won just twice at home all season.

Although Porto have drawn their last three matches on the trot in the Primeira Liga, these stalemates have nevertheless extended their unbeaten run in the Portuguese top flight to 13 matches and they’ll be confident they can take all three points against a poor Maritimo outfit here.
