Benfica - Maritimo Predictions
This is the phase of all decisions in Liga NOS, plays minute by minute, point to point. Benfica are still leading, but only 1 point clear of FC Porto. It means that the incarnates have no room for maneuver! The only certainty that Benfica has to be champion is to win the remaining games. If we prefer, Benfica has 5 finals until the title. But he will have to play a lot more than in the last game in Moreira de Cónegos. A pale display, in which Moreirense was superior in many moments of the game, but in which Benfica showed great soul and will to win. In this 29th day return to hell of the light and know that there will be the 12th player that has won so many victories, more specifically we have talked about 11 victories in 14 games! An impressive record that the Marítimo will try to counter. For this, you can count on the central Deyvison but still without Gottardi and Ghazarian. The Madeirans are in an excellent period. Today's victory against Chaves (2-1) keeps the team, with only 1 loss, in the last 12 games! Benfica is warned, this Marítimo has quality and can complicate the game in the Light! For this, the commanders of Daniel Ramos, have to cancel Pizzi, Jonas and Mitroglou, which will not be easy. The Greek has decided the last games and with 15 goals is the best scorer of the Eagles. Only 3 teams managed to catch Benfica in the Estádio da Luz: Setúbal, Boavista and FC Porto. Will the Marítimo be able to join this trio?Benfica - Maritimo head to head
-In the Estádio da Luz, Benfica, at least the numbers confirm this: 14 games, 11 wins and 3 draws. He scored 39 goals and only conceded 8. An average of 2.79 goals per home game is a play! Another factor to point out is that 79% of the games in the light, Benfica scored on both parties!-Benfica are going through some difficulties, conceding 2 draws in the last 5 games, one in Paços de Ferreira (0-0) and FC Porto, at home (1-1). Even the last victory in Moreira de Cónegos was a lot of suffering and the exhibition quality was poor!
-Mitroglou has been instrumental in many of Benfica's victories. He is the best scorer with 15 goals and the game in which he does not score is rare. Edersson, Pizzi and Carrillo are in danger of suspension if they see the yellow card, and consequently they could miss the derby in Alvalade.
-This is probably the best Maritime of recent years. They are in 6th place, 6 points from European places! Since Daniel Ramos took over the team, he has made it truly competitive. The last 12 games, and feathers has lost 1 game! What is it, brilliant!
-The biggest problem of the Marítimo when he plays out are the scoring goals he scores. Just scored 8 in 14 games! And if we notice that 3 of those 8 goals were two days ago in Guimarães!
-Important absences: Marítimo can not count on the injured, Gottardi and Ghazaryan. Benfica will not count on Jardel and Jiménez, also to accounts with injuries.
-The direct confrontations at the Estádio da Luz have been frankly favorable to the incarnated. The last two matches ended with two old-fashioned goalscorings: (6-0 and 6-0). But if we back down further, there are 3 more wins for Benfica (2-1, 4-1 and 2-0).
