Comparative Team Statistics: Maritimo vs FC Porto

Head-to-head: a lopsided history

The recorded meetings between these two go back to 2013, and Porto have won the vast majority of them. Their last visit to Maritimo, in February 2023, ended 2-0 to the visitors, and the previous home meeting for Porto finished 5-1.

Maritimo have picked up occasional draws and even a couple of wins over the years, but nothing recent. This isn't a full record of every fixture between the clubs, but the pattern in the available matches leans heavily one way.

Standings: top versus eleventh

Porto sit top of the Primeira Liga on 21 points from seven games, with a goal difference of plus 15. Maritimo are down in 11th on eight points, their goal difference sitting at minus four.

Key men and cards

Porto's scoring load is shared around: Gabri Veiga has four goals in seven appearances, with Borja Sainz and André Silva on three apiece. Pepê Aquino leads the assist charts with four, so the creative side of their game isn't resting on one player.

For Maritimo, Raphael Guzzo and Igor Julião have each picked up three yellow cards in seven matches. That's not proof either will miss out here, but it's a discipline note worth watching given how stretched Maritimo have looked defensively.

How this one might play out

Porto's away form this season has been just as strong as their home record, with three wins from three league trips and only a single goal conceded on the road. That suggests their level travels well.

Maritimo's home games have been unpredictable, going from a routine win over Casa Pia to a heavy loss against Benfica. That inconsistency, against a team unbeaten in the league, points to a tough afternoon defensively for the hosts.
