Maritimo vs Sporting Prediction & Betting tips
Maritimo Funchal was able to stop the previous crash in the Primeira League for the time being. Thanks to a 1-0 win at OS Belenenses last round, a series of three bankruptcies ended. With just 23 points, the kickers from Madeira are still in the relegation battle, because the 16th rank is only two meters away. In addition, there is no advantage with a home game – because at home the team of coach Cláudio Braga has so far occurred very weak. Only one win and four defeats, for example, the balance of the recent five home games. In particular, the offensive fails on its own backdrop regularly, as six goals in ten home games show. A yield that no other team in the Portuguese House of Lords undercuts.
With Sporting now comes on the one hand a strong opponent who is in fourth place in table, but on the other hand like to distribute gifts abroad. Read on that the team has conceded at least one goal in all twelve league games in foreign countries to date. In addition, Sporting plague some injury concerns on offense. The forecast is accompanied by the use of 5 units.
Maritimo :
Last year’s sweetheart is going through a very difficult season. Thus, the green-red are in real danger of relegation. A starting position that the club of the island had not experienced in recent years. After all, he took in the review of the recent ten seasons eight times a single-place place and otherwise a 10th and 13th place. But Funchal does not have much time this season. An example was the offensive, which is still only 13 matches after 22 match days. A yield representing a negative league record held jointly with the Table CD Fareirense. But the reasonably stable defensive Funchal owes the fact that it is not even ranked lower in the table.
The win against OS Belensenses last weekend meant a playful upswing, but the triumph was also due to the desperate form of the opponent, who has been without a win for five games. In addition, the mentioned previous three defeats did not fall against strong teams from the Primeira Liga, but predominantly against teams who themselves are in the table cellar, for example, the third to last CD Aves or penultimate GD Chaves. Little hope before the match against Sporting also makes the record in the domestic Estádio dos Barreiros. Only three wins and a draw from ten home games and the worst offensive in front of their own audience bring the champion of 1926 the penultimate place in the home rating.
Sporting Lisbon:
The Verde-Rubros celebrated like the opponent on the last matchday a success. However, the opposition in the form of Sporting Braga was already much more prominent. With 3: 0, the Minhotos was beaten at home, shortening the gap on the third-placed opponent to four points. However, more than qualifying for the Europa League, which already allows its own fourth place in the table, will hardly be possible for Sporting this season. Benfica and FC Porto, who take the top two in the table, are noticeably stronger and with Braga there is still a team that breaks through the eternal phalanx of the three big top clubs this season.
Sporting has built a better placement, especially abroad. Although the winner of the European Cup Winners’ Cup of 1964 in the home rating, the third place in the Primeira Liga, but in foreign countries is from these good performances often seen little. Only 14 of the 45 season points brought Sporting away and the record of four wins and losses and two draws is of course for the claims of the 22 -fold champion unsatisfactory. Special concerns are the defensive, which did not reach a single clean sheet in the league on foreign territory. In addition, the Green-Whites are currently plaguing personal problems in the offensive area. At the moment, besides the long-term injured Colombian attacker Fredy Montero, his Portuguese assassin Nani can not play due to a groin injury. With seven goals and four assists, the new signing from last summer’s Lazio Rome is after all the third best Goalgetter in the Leoes and actually represents a fixed size in the tactical match plan for the offensive of coach Marcel Kaizer.
