An important duel in the bottom section of the Primeira Liga, with both Maritimo and Desportivo Aves experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic \"six-pointer\" with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 18th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Marítimo form and stats
Marítimo have played 9 Primeira Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-5-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Marítimo lost their last game at Sporting CP (placed 4th) after a 0-1 scoreline. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Famalicão the opponent.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Marítimo have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost two.
