They have not been entirely convincing this term, sitting 15^th on the log having managed a measly 25 points from 26 games. The Greatest of the Islands will need to turn a corner over the coming weeks, if they are to steer clear of the dreaded relegation-zone.

Scheduled to take on newly-promoted side Gil Vicente this Monday, Maritimo have a real shot at redemption against these minnows. The Roosters miraculously gained promotion to the Primeira Liga from the league’s third tier – a major cause of debate.

However, despite being largely inexperienced with top-flight football, Gil Vicente have turned heads with their impressive performances this season.

Sitting 10^th on the log, they are currently sporting a comfortable five-point lead over their opposing number. Expect a thrilling game between these two sides come Monday evening.

Maritimo vs Gil Vicente Team News

In dire need of points, Maritimo were on the road to the Estadio do Dragao to take on table-toppers FC Porto, hoping to get this much-needed three points on board. Touted as outsiders for the fixture, the Greatest of the Islands put forth an impressive performance, limiting the Dragons to just one goal.

Stepping out of the tunnel to take on their title-chasing counterparts, Jose Gomes’ charges looked a really determined side. However, they began the game on the backfoot, allowing Porto’s Corona to register a 6^th-minute goal, condemning the away side to a narrow 0-1 defeat.

Gil Vicente, on the other hand, were faced with the herculean task of staging an upset against top-four contenders Famalicao on the last match-day. Despite showing grit and resilience throughout the game, they were totally outclassed by their superior opposition.

Pegged back in their half for the first forty-five, Famalicao fired home two goals to be placed firmly in the driving seat. A 77^th minute goal from Hugo Vieira giving the Roosters a lifeline, the game was soon put to bed by Famalicao’s Banguera as Vicente were left empty-handed at the sound of the final whistle.

Maritimo are sporting a meagre record heading into this game, having gone five games without a single win – four of which ended in defeat. From their preceding ten league games, they have only one win of note – the sole win coming against fellow relegation candidates Pacos de Ferreira on home turf.

Taking the entire campaign into context, the visitors have been the better side. However, affairs have gone south at Gil Vicente in recent games with the Roosters on a disappointing two-game winning run. They have managed three defeats from their previous five league games.

Most worryingly for Gil Vicente, they were defeated by 17^th-placed Portimonense some time ago, the latter dominating proceedings from start to finish. The Roosters can have no complaints about the loss as they were totally outclassed in every single department on the pitch.

Maritimo vs Gil Vicente Predictions

Both sides are known to be low-scoring sides. Gil Vicente are scoring at an average of one goal per game whilst Maritimo have registered less number of goals than their total league games. Given that both sides have significant defensive frailties, we are likely to witness goals down both ends of the pitch. The safest punt would be a double chance backing Gil Vicente for the win.
