Marítimo's struggle is real here at Estádio dos Barreiros with only 5 points collected from 7 Liga Portugal games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-4.

In their previous game, the manager Gomes led his Marítimo to a defeat away at Vizela. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estádio dos Barreiros. Marítimo's goalkeeper Carné was extremely busy against Vizela, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.

Ahead of that match, Marítimo won a home game hosting Sporting CP (1-0).
