Marítimo form and stats
4 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Marítimo have to build on here at Estádio dos Barreiros in the Primeira Liga.
Marítimo shared the glory with Santa Clara in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Santa Clara as Winck's goal in the 85th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Winck, defender, was given a rating of 7.32/10 in that game, top of the team. Winck scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 12 of 17 duels.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Boavista in a game that was won 4-0.The Marítimo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 15 matches.
Benfica form and stats
Benfica's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Benfica collect 35 points from their 15 away matches in the Primeira Liga. 11 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Benfica goalkeeper Odisseas Vlachodimos is eager to challenge this, with his 267 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
