Maritimo - FC Porto Prediction, Picks and Tips

Matchday twenty of the Primeira Liga de Portugal closes at the Estadio dos Barreiros in Funchal, when one of the teams committed to permanence, Maritimo, receives a visit from a motivated FC Porto. Those led by Milton Mendes continue without raising their heads and thus come from losing 2-1 in their visit to Tondela, in what has been the fifth consecutive defeat, which makes Maritimo very complicated with the issue of permanence, since they are in the penultimate place with seventeen points. What keeps the cast of Funchal alive, is that the teams that are above do not raise their heads either and thus the difference with permanence is just one point, so much so that a victory here and it would climb to the thirteenth box. Of course, Maritimo has to improve his performance at home where he has fallen in his last four official games, including the 1-3 defeat against a lower division team such as Estoril for the quarterfinals of the Taca da Portugal.

For their part, those led by Sergio Conceicao come to this game with full confidence after their midweek victory for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against a candidate for the title of said competition such as Juventus. This result allowed the Dragons to leave behind a streak of four consecutive draws, and the performance is expected to be different from now on, and more so in the Primeira Liga where it comes from drawing in its last three games, allowing the leader Sporting Lisbon is ten points away. But finally, although the possibility of reaching the Lions is complicated, the other goal of FC Oporto is to maintain that second place that leads to the next edition of the Champions League, and there they have a tough battle with Sporting Braga and Benfica, who are one and three points below respectively. And beware that the Dragons have lost only one of their last thirteen official away games where they won nine of them, while for the Primeira Liga they are undefeated in their last six away games, winning four of them.
