Struggling Marítimo will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Benfica in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Benfica have scored more than double the goals of Marítimo.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Europa League. That game, against Rangers, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Benfica.
Marítimo form and stats
Marítimo have played 3 Primeira Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
A strong away win for Marítimo against Penafiel (after extra-time) the last match, as Rodrigo Pinho (3) were on target. A Primeira Liga defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Famalicao.
What a game it was for Rodrigo Pinho when beating Penafiel (after extra-time), applying the finishing touch to three goals!
Marítimo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. On the other hand, Marítimo have conceded 3 goals.
Benfica form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Primeira Liga away games so far for Benfica with six points collected from three matches.
Benfica are travelling again after losing away to Rangers in their previous match (0-1). Preceding that game was the away Taça De Portugal victory against Paredes with the score of 1-0.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Lech Poznań in just three days.
Benfica are a potent attacking force on the road with their 8 goals in 3 league games. As opposed to that, Benfica have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
