Maritimo – Nacional Predictions (20.02.2017)

Maritimo-Nacional

THE GAME

Come from there to the "Bailinho da Madeira"! Nothing better than a derby to finish the 22nd day of the League NOS! Even with the two teams, separated by 18 points, and living realities, very different, the rivalry exists, the intensity is maximum, and the adept enjoys good shows.

It will not be different this weekend at the Barreiros Stadium. Marítimo, 6th place, with 32 points, looks to Europe and Nacional of Madeira, 17th place, with 14 points, fight to survive in the first division! There is a Marítimo before and after Daniel Ramos, but let's see: Paulo César Gusmão, the previous coach, made 5 games and added four defeats, two of them at home, and only a victory.

Daniel Ramos came in, and in sixteen games, he won eight, including six at home! A change that brought immediate effects and great consistency to the team! The same can not be said of Nacional, who also replaced Manuel Machado for Jokanovic, but the team did not react: after six games, still looking for the first victory.

The team urgently needs a good result to reverse this situation! In Funchal, you will have this opportunity, against your eternal rival. But ... will it?
