Marítimo, Recent FormAn important point secured against Rio Ave will have left Marítimo quite happy with their 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Rio Ave, who had 18 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 4 and seen valuable points lost. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 12 of their 14 league games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Estádio do Marítimo, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 8 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
André Vidigal will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Marítimo.
Sporting CP, Recent FormIn their last match Sporting CP enforced their superiority over Paços de Ferreira with a 3-0 home win. In that game they recorded 58 of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 6 shots on goal.
Rúben Amorim will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 4 goals during those same matches. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They have had an excellent run of form recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Pedro Gonçalves will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 7 goals in Sporting CP's 14 league games this season.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Sportinguistas will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with Marítimo. In their past 5 meetings, Sporting CP's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Os Verde-Rubros will have to take their chances when they come.
Sporting CP have built up an impressive record in the league against Marítimo, going unbeaten in their last 8 meetings.
There is only really one injury concern for the Marítimo manager José Gomes ahead of this clash, with Marcelo Carné (Knee) missing out, which gives Gomes a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Rúben Amorim has a number of injury concerns in his Sporting CP squad to contend with: Daniel Bragança (Ligament), Hidemasa Morita (Muscle), Luís Neto (Knee) and Jeremiah St. Juste (Physical discomfort)
