Benfica vs Maritimo Prediction & Betting tips
In the fight for the championship it will be in Portugal at every point! Benfica is the leader of the table with 68 points from 28 games, but has only one point lead over Porto. While the championship on Friday night must be at home against Maritimo Funchal, Porto has a day later on Sporting Braga a much more difficult task to accomplish.
Benfica :
After the Champions League out in the round of the last 16 against Borussia Dortmund, Benfica are only about the championship in Portugal this season. But the club from Lisbon currently has no bad cards. With a 21-5-2 score at 58-14 goals Benfica leads the Primeira League, even if the lead to Porto is low. The capital club has been without defeat for nine days and in these nine matches the defensively strong team conceded only two goals. Above all the strong home balance of 11-3-0 at 39-8 goals is a clear argument for Benfica Lisbon in this lot, which is why the betting rates are kept accordingly low. A 1.20er quota is only on the favorite win. With Jardel and Jimenez two important players fall out, but Mitroglou, Pizzi and Jonas will rock the child already!
Maritimo :
Maritimo Funchal is currently sixth in the Primeira League and looks back on a good season. Six points separate Maritimo from Guimaraes and thus from a Europa League qualifying place. In the final phase, therefore, Maritimo is also about to complete the season as best as possible. Over the 12-8-8 score at 28-25 goals you can not complain – 44 points are not a few, considering that Maritimo only 28 hits on 28 game days contributed. However, the goal is a decent defensive. Nevertheless, the club is very weak in the distance with a 3-5-6 score at 8-15 goals. From the last 14 league games there was only one defeat and seven victories, but only one of the seven victories in the distance.
