Three or more goals per game were seen in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Marítimo have taken part. Their opponents scored 12 of them in these games whereas Os Verde-Rubros managed a tally of 10. We will have to see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Throughout their six previous matches, Luís Freire's Nacional have seen their goal attempts be successful a total of 9 times therefore earning them the goals per game average of 1.5.

Coming into this meeting, Nacional have not emerged victorious against Marítimo when having played them away from home in the previous 6 matches in the league. Not good.
