Marítimo form and stats

With 2 Primeira Liga wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Marítimo are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Marítimo in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Boavista game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Marítimo shared the glory with Portimonense in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Preceding that match was a defeat to Porto (1-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Moreirense form and stats

The visitors are W3-D2-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Primeira Liga.

Moreirense's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Belenenses that finished 2-2. A 0-1 defeat away at Boavista before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Moreirense playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were four Moreirense wins, four draws and three defeats.

The attacking power of Moreirense when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 10 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 11 goals have been conceded by Moreirense in these games.
