Liga Portugal this match at Estádio do Marítimo, the hosts sit 12th with 8 points from 7 matches, while Porto lead the table with a full 21 points and are still unbeaten in the league. Marítimo have not won any of their last five, drawing two and losing three. The defence is clearly a problem, judging by the 12 goals conceded in 7 matches, while Porto have won their last three in a row, scoring 18 and conceding just 3 all season. The pattern of play therefore looks likely to be the hosts sitting deep and waiting to counter. According to the expected line-ups, Marítimo should set up 4-2-3-1 with Adrian Butzke as the lone striker, holding the ball up and waiting for openings from Raphael Gregorio Guzzo and Maxime Dominguez, who should share control of the midfield tempo. Porto are expected to come out in a 4-3-3 pushing high, with Gabriel Veiga dictating in midfield and Andre Miguel Valente Silva as the target in the box. If Porto score first, the game should open up even more, and the hosts, forced to come out and defend as a unit, will give up more space in the middle for the opposition to play through.
