CS Maritimo Funchal

vs

UD Oliveirense

Preview

CS Maritimo Funchal

• CS Maritimo Funchal have won four of their last five games, including their last two.
• Maritimo top the Segunda with 53 points from 26 matches while Oliveirense have struggled to stay out of the relegation zone with only 27 points from as many games.
• Vasco Matos has instilled a high-intensity, high-pressing game in his team, and the pro-active 4-3-3 looks capable of creating a promotion push.
• Maritimo have won 6, drawn 4 and lost only 3 of their 13 home matches this season, making Estádio dos Barreiros a difficult place for most teams to go and get a result.

UD Oliveirense

• UD Oliveirense have failed to win any of their last three away matches, drawing two and losing one.
• Oliveirense have won just once in 13 away games this term, with one win, six draws and six defeats.
• Ricardo Silva has been in charge since February 2026, but the recent form has tailed off with no wins, two draws and three losses in the last five.
• Defensively, the visitors are better organised than their lowly position suggests with only 14 goals conceded in 13 away trips.
• When the ball is with them, they are low risk and direct, preferring to play with numbers behind the ball.

Head-to-Head

Key Players

• Carlos Daniel is a consistent goal threat for Maritimo with nine goals in 26 Segunda appearances, but Oliveirense's best hope of a goal lies with Bruno Silva, who has five in 25.
• Pedro Martelo has scored two of Oliveirense’s last three and is likely to be their main threat.

Betting Insights

• The odds are too short for a home victory at 1.37, but we can add a little value by taking Both Teams to Score - No at 1.7 because of the defensive nature of the visitors and Maritimo’s recent defensive record.
• A Maritimo clean sheet is the likelier outcome here as the home side average 1.23 goals per home game this term.
