Maritimo vs Benfica – Benfica is hoping to secure a Champions League ticket, since Porto has already claimed the first. They will face Maritimo at Estádio dos Barreiros on Saturday, hoping to win.
With 68 points from 31 games, the Eagles sit in third place in the rankings. They won 21 games in the league, drew five times, and lost five times.

Only 9 of the 31 matches they played resulted in a win, with the remaining 10 resulting in a tie and the remaining 12 ending in a loss. They need to look at their defence because they’ve already given up 41 goals.
The home team hammered Boavista 4-0 a week ago and edged out Santa Clara in a 2-2 tie last weekend. In five of their last six games, Maritimo failed to keep opponents from scoring. In the process, they gave up nine goals.
