FC Porto vs Maritimo Funchal Match Preview
In the game of the weekend in Portugal FC Porto and Marítimo go head to head in the last round of matches before the Christmas break.
Hulk will be Porto's biggest threat for high-flying Marítimo
However, Marítimo coach Pedro Martins has to cope with a raft of absentees. Right back Rúben Ferreira is out injured, while first-team regulars Roberto Sousa, Rafael Miranda and Olberdam are all suspended for the match.
"Despite our missing men, we will make no excuses," said Martins. "We'll go into the match with the intention of getting a good result, which means attempting to win the three points."
Porto have produced much improved displays of late. Nevertheless, the Dragons are under pressure after Benfica's win at home to Rio Ave last night.
Only three points will ensure the Portuguese champions can enjoy the Christmas break in joint top position.
Porto coach Vítor Pereira did not reveal whether star man Hulk would continue to play at centre-forward or would revert to his more usual position on the right flank.
"Will Hulk play as a striker or out wide? What I want is the collective unit working to enable the individuals to shine. I want a dynamic collective to enable the players to show all their quality," said Pereira.
Kick-off at 8.30pm local time at the Estádio do Dragão.
FC Porto vs Maritimo Funchal Match Report
FC Porto were made to work hard before overcoming Marítimo in an entertaining game at the Estádio do Dragão on Saturday night.
Porto began strongly and never let up. It was a dominant performance from the Portuguese champions, but once again a lack of a cutting edge when it came to putting the ball in the net was noticeable. Wayward finishing and some excellent goalkeeping from Marítimo number one Peçanha - especially an astonishing save from a Kléber header late in the second half - seemed likely to prove costly.
Even though the visitors were reduced to ten men before half time as Roberge picked up two quick yellow cards, as the game entered the final ten minutes it appeared Marítimo would hold out for a point.
However, two quick goals from Christian Rodríguez and Briguel (in his own net) gave Porto a deserved win and restored them to the top of the table, level on points with Benfica.
