An important duel in the bottom section of the Primeira Liga, with both Marítimo and Paços de Ferreira experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 16th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Marítimo has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. On the other hand, Marítimo have conceded 14 goals.
Paços de Ferreira form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Paços de Ferreira so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-6 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Paços de Ferreira as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Gil Vicente match.
Paços de Ferreira failed to get anything from their last game, a Primeira Liga home match vs Boavista (placed 7th) that ended with defeat 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Santa Clara wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Paços de Ferreira playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were one Paços de Ferreira win, one draw and six defeats.
