Maritimo welcome Rio Ave at Estadio do Maritimo, Funchal (Ilha da Madeira) on Sunday, Dec 13 at 6:00 PM in a Primeira Liga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Maritimo come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 5). Rio Ave, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Maritimo and Rio Ave have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw.
Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Maritimo win or a draw looks most likely.
