The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Primeira Liga clash between Benfica and Maritimo, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Benfica 2-0 Maritimo

After stumbling into the new season, where they managed just one win from their opening 11 games, Maritimo appear to have found their rhythm in recent weeks. However, to keep the ball rolling, they face the stern test of going up against a rampant Benfica side, who have proven to be solid all round this season. Given the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, we are backing As Aguias to come out victorious in this one. Read more.
