THE PREDICTION

Maritimo have done a pretty good job in recent weeks of beating the teams below them in the table but that is not hard when you are third from bottom. Two wins from their last 13 Primeira Liga matches is still relegation form but they are in better shape than some right now and could still escape the drop. They face a difficult test in travelling Rio Ave, who have lost just one of their last six league games, though four of their last five have been draws, including a respectable point earned at home against Sporting Braga last time out. Goals have been hard to come by for both sides and so draw no bet in favour of the visitors and less than 2.5 goals scored looks a useful combination here.
