Maritimo vs. Porto (Wednesday, 7.00pm)
Fresh off the back of clinching their first-ever Taca da Liga title, Porto journey to the Estadio do Maritimo to square off against Maritimo in round 18 of the Primeira Liga on Wednesday.
O Maior das Ilhas, on the other hand, head into the midweek matchup on a run of two consecutive victories on home soil and will be looking to continue in the same vein.
We say: Maritimo 0-3 Porto
Off the back of an unprecedented Taca da Liga victory, Porto will head into Wednesday with sky-high confidence as they look to continue their rise to the top of the table. At the opposite end of the table is a Maritimo side who appear to have hit their stride after a disappointing first half of the season.
While we anticipate a thrilling contest at the Estadio do Maritimo, Porto possesses the firepower needed to get the job done and we predict that they will come away with a comfortable victory in this one.
