It's the second chance for points this season as Marítimo and Tondela battle it out.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Marítimo form and stats

In their previous game, the manager J. Fernandes Vidigal led his Marítimo to a defeat in the Primeira Liga match away at Santa Clara. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Heartbreak before that as Marítimo lost 0-1 at Vitoria Guimaraes's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Marítimo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Marítimo as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Marítimo has won eight of these, drawn one and lost four.

Last season, Marítimo's league statistics were 9 wins, 12 draws and 13 losses, resulting in a 11th position in the Primeira Liga. Over these 34 matches they scored 34 goals and conceded 42. Playing at home last season Marítimo managed 5-8-4 (win-draw-lost) with 24 goals and 21 conceded.

Tondela form and stats

Tondela played 1-1 against Rio Ave in their previous match. Preceding that game was the away victory against Moreirense with the score of 2-1.

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

Let's have a look at how Tondela performed last season in the Primeira Liga: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 9 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 30 and conceded 44 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 7 with 18/22 goals scored/conceded.
