Marítimo are in fine form right now. Luck with the fixture list has played a part, but two wins from two at the start of the season could make life considerably easier for the squad going forward. Sitting joint-top is a pleasant bonus for both players and fans alike. In their matches against Famalicão (2-1) and Casa Pia (1-0), they consistently generated xG above one goal, which suggests the pre-season work has paid off.

Academico Viseu Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Primeira Liga tournament (home team - Academico Viseu, away - Santa Clara Azores). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:1.
Here are the match stats (Academico Viseu vs Santa Clara Azores):
- ball possession: 60% vs 40%;
- corner kicks: 4 vs 2;
- fouls: 11 vs 15;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 3;

Académica have had a tough run of fixtures recently. They earned a point against Benfica in somewhat heroic fashion (2-2), but then lost at home to Santa Clara (0-1). You'd expect them to show some character and try to take the game to the opposition here. The problem, though, is that according to advanced xG data, they haven't created chances worth more than one goal in any match so far - including just 0.72 xG in that recent home game. Difficulties at both ends of the pitch could well persist for the full 90 minutes against Marítimo.

⭐ Editor's Pick
A lot in this match will come down to current form, and Marítimo are clearly in the better shape of the two sides. They have been playing with both composure and efficiency, and their confidence looks high - which matters more than ever at this stage. Académico arrived at the start of the season considerably less prepared, and that could show over significant stretches of the match. Our editors believe Marítimo can continue to surprise and stay in the leading group. We're backing a Marítimo win.
