The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 9.1% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Moreirense
Moreirense’s last five league results read D‑D‑L‑W‑L, highlighted by a 2‑2 draw against SC Braga at home and a 1‑0 win at Casa Pia away. The draw against Braga shows they can produce goals against strong opposition, and the win over Casa Pia proves they can break through defensively, supporting a potential home win.
Maritimo
Maritimo’s recent stretch of W‑W‑D‑L‑L includes a 2‑1 away victory over Famalicão and a 1‑0 home win versus Casa Pia. The win at Famalicão demonstrates their ability to score on the road, but the subsequent back‑to‑back losses, especially the 0‑3 defeat to Benfica at home, suggest defensive frailties that could be exploited by Moreirense.
Head-to-Head
In the five most recent meetings, Maritimo have a 0‑1 win and a 0‑0 draw, while Moreirense have secured a 2‑0 win and a 2‑1 victory, indicating a fairly balanced record that does not strongly favor either side for this fixture.
