Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Maritimo
Match Time & Date:
30/04/2022
09:00 AM
Prediction: 1-2
Benfica
After dropping two points in a goalless draw with Famalicao, Benfica will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Maritimo at Estadio dos Barreiros on Matchday 32. The Eagles have little to play for in the season finale as they are stuck in third place, but their pride will be at stake in Saturday’s clash. Bayern Munich target Darwin Nunez will be the man to watch in the away team, while Everton is back from suspension.
Fit-again attacker Hraris Seferovic is pushing for a start. Maritimo, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Santa Clara. Since the hosts will be with their guards down as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. The good news for the hosts is that Joel Tagueu is back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Jan Vertonghen):
After spending four years at Ajax, in 2006 Jan Vertonghen signed a loan deal with RKC Waalwijk. The left-footed defender spent one season at Mandemakers Stadion and he returned to Ajax for the 2007/2008 season. The highly rated footballer, who is capable of playing as both centre back and left back, signed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur on 8 July, 2012 and he has been playing for the Premier League outfit ever since.
The Belgian defender scored four goals for the Spurs in the 2012/2013 Premier League season and he made 34 league appearances for the White Hart Lane outfit back then. In the 2015/2016 season Jan Vertonghen and his teammates were producing brilliant displays with Tottenham, but the Spurs eventually finished the campaign in third place in the standings.
Speaking of his international career, Vertonghen made it to both World Cup (2014) and Euro (2016) quarter-finals with the Belgian national team. Jan was born on 24 April, 1987 and his shirt number is 5.
