Marítimo, Recent FormMarítimo won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 away defeat to Arouca, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 11 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager José Gomes will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless. It has been a particularly poor run of form in the league, having racked up 18 defeats in 27 games.
Paços de Ferreira, Recent FormThe 3-1 home defeat to Famalicão will not have sat easily with the Paços de Ferreira squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Famalicão's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Manager César Peixoto will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. Having shipped at least a single goal in 24 of their 27 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
On an individual basis, Nigel Thomas will be looking to cause Marítimo some problems having scored 2 goals in Paços de Ferreira's last 6 away games in the league.
Marítimo recorded a 0-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
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.
Paços manager César Peixoto has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
