Farense host Maritimo, for the second round of Portuguese League fixtures, with their group also containing Rio Ave and Sporting Lisbon. With both sides falling to defeats in the first set of games, prevailing here is of key importance for maintaining their hopes of qualification alive. Farense were picked apart by Sporting last weekend, with their 6-0 drubbing cutting especially deep. It was their second defeat in the last four games and third in their last seven. The hosts have performed well overall in the Portuguese second division so far in the campaign. They are second in the standings, while they have remained unbeaten in their last ten home games, scoring in nine of them. They have also had plenty of joy when hosting Maritimo of late, emerging triumphant in three of their last four matchups. 

Maritimo were also defeated by Rio Ave in their latest encounter, in what was their third game in a row without finding the net. The visitors have also lost eleven of their last fifteen games, claiming victory just once during that run. With such low confidence in the front, it is really a wonder where the goals will come from at this Maritimo side, who are scrambling for some positive momentum. Their record on the road is equally poor, having failed to win in twelve of their last thirteen away games. On the upside, you could picture them finding a goal here, having scored in three of their last four outings as well as in each of their last five away meetings with Farense.
