Draw

Even though Vizela started with back-to-back away defeats, the team has since been quite good in away matches with only one loss in the last five games. Maritimo have suffered very heavy defeats against Benfica in recent years, but their reaction to the latest defeat might come in the form of caution. The two teams are meeting each other for the first time and a loss would be difficult for both teams at this juncture.

Total goals under 2.5

The home team come on the back of conceding seven goals in the recent league match and they will be extra cautious when it comes to their defence. Vizela have not been very consistent with their scoring especially in away matches. This is likely to lead to a match which does not involve a lot of goals.

Goals from both teams – yes

Vizela have been able to get at least a goal in four out of the last five away matches. It is very unlikely that Maritimo would be able to keep a clean sheet straight from a 7-1 loss in the recent match. Maritimo have managed just two clean sheets in the last five home matches.
