Draw
Maritimo and Santa Clara are very evenly matched coming into the game. After a poor form that saw them slide on the table, both teams have been able to do well in the last two matches. The resilience displayed by Maritimo and Santa Clara in the recent games is likely to be profound in this fixture, as a loss could be damaging to both club’s hopes of staying up.
Total goals over 2.5
Santa Clara have experienced over 2.5 goals in six consecutive matches across all competitions. Maritimo are not far from hitting this tally with three of their recent four games managing the same outcome. It is very likely that both teams will be trading blows throughout the match and this can result in a game with over 2.5 goals.
Goals from both teams – yes
Since the win over Gil Vicente back in August, Santa Clara have not kept a clean sheet in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Despite doing the double over Maritimo last season, the visitors will be cautious of conceding goals due to this record.
Maritimo vs Santa Clara: Primeira Liga preview and team news
Maritimo
Maritimo have been able to stop a slide on the table with four points from the last two matches. Zainadine Júnior will be suspended for the match while Bruno Xadas is a potential doubt. These absences could mean that manager Vasco Seabra could be using Léo Andrade from the start.
Santa Clara
Santa Clara might remain in the bottom three places, but the team has also been exceptionally well to recover from a 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Sporting Braga to pick up four points from the recent two league matches. A positive for Santa Clara would be the form of Cryzan, who has three goals in his last two games. Costinha and Allano are unavailable due to injury, while Hidemasa Morita is a potential doubt.
