Maritimo
Maritimo starts all the seasons with the purpose to end in top 5 of Portuguese league.
Last year they didn't make it because of a poor start but the replacing coach and current, did a good job finishing in the middle of the table.
Maritimo lost two players for FC Porto, winger Djalma and striker Kleber but they kept Babá their best striker last season with 9 goals. Maritimo signed striker Christian Pouga from Vaslui who already played in Leixoes back in 2009 and Naval's last season keeper Salin.
Maritimo did an average pre-season with 2W 3D 1L with 6 goals scored and 4 conceded.
Beira Mar
Beira-Mar finished last season two places above relegation, and they lost most of the important players from last year’s campaign and will be very difficult to replace them with a short budget this year.
Beira Mar signed a few players with 1st division experience, some others from the second league to try to avoid relegation - which is their only concern this season.
Beira-Mar was bad in pre-season with only one win in the last 8 matches and 4 draws. They also struggled to score goals with only 3 scored and 9 conceded.
Head to Head
Maritimo won 1-0 last season and their last defeat against Beira-Mar at home was in 93/94 season with two draws in between.
The Betting Verdict :
This will be a game between two defensive minded teams anything else than a low scoring game will be a big surprise in my opinion.
The most probable outcome will be Maritimo's win but there is also a slightly chance of the game ends in a boring 0-0 draw.
The odds for under 2,5 are very low so I recommend Under 2 goals at evens.
BEST BETTING TIP :
Main Bet :Take UNDER 2 GOALS at 2.00
