Feirense
- Feirense are 8th on 27.
- Feirense have been in fine form recently, winning their last three games in a row, but their home form in Liga Segunda 2025/2026, has been patchy, with just 1 win from the last 3.
- Feirense, who have conceded an average of 1 goal per game on their own patch, will need to stay compact and organised to deal with the visitors’ quality and momentum.
- Feirense have played to their strengths as an aggressive and pressing side under Costa, with his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, high pressing game and direct style of play making them a threat on the break and in transition, where they can play on their vertical speed and physicality.
Maritimo
- CS Maritimo Funchal lead the Liga Segunda 2025/2026 table on 40 points from 19 matches, Feirense are 8th on 27.
- Maritimo have won 8 of their 9 away games in Liga Segunda 2025/2026.
- Maritimo have dominated their away matches in the second tier of Portuguese football this season, winning 8 of 9 and scoring 19 goals on the road.
- Their perfect away record in the last three outings culminated in a 4-0 win at Lusitania Lourosa last time out.
- Maritimo are unbeaten in their last five games, taking 3 wins and 2 draws, and come into this game as the slight favorite.
Head-to-Head
Maritimo won the reverse fixture 1-0 at home five months ago and are undefeated in the last two meetings overall.
Key Players
-
Maritimo:
- Maritimo’s Martin Tejon has been in hot form with 4 goals in his last 5 matches, so the onus will be on the Madeirans to find him the ball as they look to capitalise on Feirense’s midfield.
-
Feirense:
- A goal for Feirense’s leading scorer Leandro Antunes (6 goals in 19 Liga Segunda 2025/2026 appearances) would do wonders for the hosts’ confidence, too.
Betting Insights
- Maritimo are 2.18 favorites for this game and Feirense are 3.25, which makes sense given the visitors are in superior league position and have the better away record.
- Both teams are averaging 0.5 goals per game in their five previous head-to-heads at Feirense, so ‘Under 2.5 goals’ at 1.65 looks a solid option given Maritimo’s superior away form and momentum, and Feirense’s solid defence at home.
Prediction
Maritimo are unbeaten in their last five games, taking 3 wins and 2 draws, and come into this game as the slight favorite.
