Maritimo vs Benfica Prediction and Betting Tips 5 September 2026

Maritimo will try to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Arouca as they target a third Primeira Liga victory of the campaign. Samuel Bamba is pushing for his first start of the season, while there are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts. Maritimo have won 60% of their last 10 home games and scored 1.60 goals per match, although they have also conceded 1.40 on average.

Benfica, meanwhile, continue their quest to reclaim the Primeira Liga crown after a 2-1 victory over Estoril extended their winning run to four matches in all competitions. Enzo Barrenechea limped off in that game, with Joao Palhinha ready to step in. Vangelis Pavlidis remains the main threat, having already scored five league goals this season. Benfica have won 70% of their last 10 matches, scoring an impressive 3.20 goals per game, while they have also won 23 of their 28 previous meetings with Maritimo.

As Benfica have won four straight matches and 23 of 28 H2H meetings, Away Win should be considered, alongside Benfica Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (68% of the last 28 H2H meetings produced at least three goals).

This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 18:00.
