Sporting CP has been in inconsistent form recently, with just one win in their last five matches. They have lost two of their last three games, including a heavy defeat, and have also drawn twice. Maritimo, meanwhile, has been up and down as well, winning two and losing three of their last five outings. Their most recent result was a victory, so they come into this match with some momentum.

Looking at their past meetings, these games often see goals. In their last six encounters, there have been goals in every match, and several of those have been high-scoring affairs. Sporting CP has won most of these recent head-to-heads, but the games are usually tight and open. Given Sporting's stronger overall squad and home advantage, they are the more likely team to win this match.
