Prediction: 1-1
Maritimo
Nacional will be aiming to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Ferreira when they take on Maritimo in the Primeira Liga round 23. The Black and Whites suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their previous four league fixtures, and, as a result, their Primeira Liga status is in great danger. Honduras international Bryan Rochez, who found the net in the defeat to Ferreira, is pushing for a start.
Maritimo, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table, with the team collecting only 18 points from possible 66. The rock-bottom side aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Moreirense, and seeing that they are likely to go for a win in Friday’s relegation six-pointer as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Defender Andreas Karo, who suffered an injury at the weekend, is unlikely to feature for the visitors.
