CS Maritimo Funchal
- CS Maritimo Funchal top the table in Liga Segunda after amassing 57 points from 28 games this season and they’ll be hoping that they can keep their promotion push on course with victory over 16th-placed Portimonense this Sunday.
- Vasco Matos has implemented a high-intensity, attack-minded approach since his appointment as manager in July 2025, that’s seen his side average 1.21 goals scored and 0.86 conceded per home game in Liga Segunda (W7, D4, L3).
- CSM Funchal’s 4-3-3 system is built around the ability of their players to press high up the field, win the ball back and transition quickly to break at pace through the middle of the field.
- CS Maritimo Funchal have recorded 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last five competitive games (W3, D1, L1).
- CS Maritimo have kept two clean sheets in their last two games, one of which came in their 1-0 home win over Oliveirense last time out.
Portimonense
Tiago Fernandes has opted for either a 3-4-3 or 3-1-4-2 formation since his appointment in July 2025 and his side look to stretch the play wide by pushing their wing-backs high up the pitch, before locking the defence into a compact pressing block to limit the opponents’ ability to play through them.
Head-to-Head
The last four H2H matches have split evenly between the two sides (W2, L2) .
