Marítimo vs FC Porto prediction

THE FORECAST

FC Porto arrive as runaway league leaders with seven wins from seven, scoring 2.6 goals per game while conceding just 0.4, and Farioli's side have kept four clean sheets already this season. Maritimo are winless in five and sit mid-table with poor defensive numbers, while their 21 days of rest actually works against them competitively given Porto's sharp rhythm. Porto do face a Champions League fixture in four days, introducing some rotation risk, but the gulf in quality is so vast that even a rotated Porto side should comfortably handle a struggling Maritimo at mild, neutral conditions.
