The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Marinhense are in the 12th position while the guesting Oliveira Hospital worry at 13th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
