Preview: Maritimo vs Benfica

After a win against Gil Vicente that gave them a life-line, Maritimo slipped up again with a loss to fellow relegation candidates Portimonense that now have put them in danger of being dragged back down into the much unwanted relegation fight. Things aren't expected to get any easier for the struggling side as they prepare to host Benfica, who will be desperate for a result after a nightmare performance against Santa Clara last round.

The Eagles shipped four goals at home for the first time in over two decades and come into this game having won just two of their last 12 matches across all competitions. They currently are three points behind Porto in the battle for the league title, but are unbeaten in 22 of their last 23 away games in the Primeira Liga. Furthermore, they have also won 13 of their last 15 games versus Maritimo across all comps, so on paper at least, this game looks firmly stacked in their favor.

However, all seven of Maritimo's wins against Benfica have happened on home turf. Additionally, Benfica simply don't seem to be in the right frame of mind at the moment, so if Maritimo do want to really cause a major upset, this couldn't be a better time than to do it and pick up some much needed points.

Maritimo: Franck-Yves Bambock is suspended, while Rúben Ferreira is out injured.

Benfica: Rúben Dias is banned for this fixture after picking up his fifth yellow card. Meanwhile, Alejandro Grimaldo is still recovering from a knee injury, so is not available for this match. Jardel remains in doubt due to muscular fatigue, and will have to be assessed shortly prior to the game - but is not expected to be featuring in the starting XI.
