THE PREDICTION
Maritimo’s most recent outing was a 4-2 defeat away to lower league Mafra in the third round of the Taca de Portugal, last weekend. The home team have had an absolutely horrible season so far this season as they sit at the bottom-of-the-table, having collected just a solitary point from their opening nine Primeira Liga matches. Arouca have not been overly impressive but with three wins and three draws in their opening nine games, they will be more than confident of avoiding defeat in this one.
