Casa Pia vs Maritimo Match Preview

Casa Pia hosts Maritimo on the twenty-fifth matchday of the Portuguese league.

The hosts are coming off a 1-0 away defeat at Famalikao looking once again affected by a lack of goals after avoiding relegation early. The newcomers have no intention of chasing a European ticket and will use the remaining ten games to prepare for the next season. On the contrary, in the last six games, they have shown pretty relaxed having scored only in the 2-1 victory over weak Pacos and having also collected two more points from bore draws.

The visitors, on the other hand, lost 0-3 at their home to the leader Benfica, however, after the transfer window they have improved and are fighting to avoid relegation. They recently won 3-1 at home to Santa Clara so they are now in a position leading to the relegation play-offs rather than direct relegation and also scored in the away defeats 2-1 to Chavez and Portimonense.

In conclusion, these two teams are on completely opposite paths since Casa Pia waits for the end of the season enjoying their successful start while Maritimo after the bad first round is fighting to remain in the division. I will stake 3 units on the X2 double chance at 1.81 odds.
