Maritimo host Benfica at Estadio do Maritimo, Funchal on Sunday, Sep 6 at 6:00 PM in the Primeira Liga.
Maritimo come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 0L). Benfica travel in mixed form (1W 1D 0L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Maritimo face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Benfica have won 9 of 10 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Benfica won 3–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Maritimo a slight edge, but Benfica are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
