Maritimo – Alverca

Maritimo host Alverja in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the home side perched in tenth place on seven points after two wins, a draw and two defeats, and a modest -2 goal difference (six for, eight against). Alverja sit just below them in eleventh, having gathered five points from one victory, two draws and three losses, while their goal tally sits at eight for and eleven against. Both teams will be desperate to close the gap and climb out of the lower half of the table, making the clash a potential six‑point swing. A win for either side could see them leapfrog the other, turning the league table on its head as the season heads into its crucial second phase.
