Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Maritimo
Match Time & Date:
25/02/2023
01:00 PM
Prediction: 2-1
Santa Clara
Maritimo will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Portimonense when they take on Santa Clara in the Primeira Liga round 22. O Maior das Ilhas do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team losing each of their last four league matches, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for the home side. Edgar Costa is back from suspension, as well as head coach Jose Manuel Gomez, who was sent off in a 2-1 loss to Braga.
Santa Clara, on the other hand, are desperate to avoid automatic relegation to the Portuguese second tier. Since Maritimo will not have a better chance to return to winning ways, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. Defender Ygor Nogueira is banned for the match, while goalkeeper Marco Pereira has yet to recover from a hamstring problem.
