The meetings between these two teams go back a long way, and they have traded wins and losses throughout. Both have scored three apiece at home against each other, and they have also finished by sharing the points. But this time Marítimo and Santa Clara come in very different shape. Marítimo are still stuck with problems they cannot solve, having lost their last two in a row, and their defence is the leakiest in the league right now, having conceded 19 goals in 9 matches. Santa Clara, meanwhile, are the strongest team in the upper part of the table, having conceded only 6 goals all season and having just won away in the league without conceding. In this game Santa Clara are likely to dominate possession and push forward, while Marítimo, who have long had defensive problems, will probably drop deep, sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances. If Santa Clara can control the game long enough, the chances of them scoring are high.
