Maritimo vs Benfica Free Betting Tips

Next Monday, the Estádio dos Barreiros, in Funchal, Madeira Island, will host the duel of the 29th round of the Liga NOS, between the Marítimo and Benfica teams, which are going through a decisive period in the fight for their respective goals. Islanders go to play in the 16th place of the table, the first one above the descent zone, with 28 points, which give an advantage of only four to the penultimate classified Portimonense. This was precisely Marítimo’s last opponent, who lost 3-2 in the Algarve in the last round. Benfica is going through a deep crisis of results and comes to this game in 2nd place, with 64 points and three less than the leader FC Porto. After winning the visit to Rio Ave (1-2), Bruno Lage’s team allowed a “scandal” at home, on the last day, when they were defeated (3-4) from the reception to Santa Clara, in a game where they won, 3-2 after 79 minutes. In the last few hours, the possibility hangs in the air of Lage abandoning the technical command of the “eagles”, something that needs confirmation.

This is a game where only the two teams will win, as Marítimo appears under pressure in the fight for permanence and Benfica under fire in the fight for a title that will no longer be as accessible as that. Both teams have committed serious defensive failures in the last matches, so it is to be expected a game where both attacks manage to win, without great difficulty, under the opposing defensive systems.
