Maritimo vs Academico Viseu Tips, Predictions & Live Stream - Maritimo to Make it Three Straight Wins in Liga Portugal
Maritimo aims for a third consecutive win as they host Academico Viseu in Liga Portugal. The Madeiran club comes in with strong confidence following back-to-back victories and an undefeated streak at home. In contrast, Academico Viseu arrives after a tough loss to Santa Clara and defensive struggles, having conceded 14 goals in their past five matches. The recommendation is to back Maritimo for the win, highlighting their superior form and home strength.

- Academico are coming off a 1-0 home defeat
- I am backing the Madeiran club to win again
Maritimo have had a perfect start in their return to Liga Portugal. Academico are coming off a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Santa Clara, my money on a home win in Madeira.
HTH - Maritimo on Top
Maritimo have a dominant 6-1 advantage against Academico Viseu alongside seven draws.
Perfect Start for Maritimo
Maritimo have had a strong start in their return to the Portuguese top flight, winning their opening two games.
Mitchell van der Gaag’s side had 39% possession against Casa Pia but were efficient up front, Martín Tejón assisting Raphael Guzzo in a 1-0 victory.
The Madeiran side fell behind at Famalicao but took advantage of errors to come away with a 2-1 win. Simo Bouzaidi equalised in the first half and Maurice Boakye netted in added time.
Van der Gaag admittied his side had some luck: "This team fights hard, they have quality, we scored, maybe we were lucky, but my team works hard and it's very important for us to win points."
"The team's fight is to avoid relegation, and these are three more points. I was happy with the number of fans who were here, which shows that Marítimo is alive. Maybe we had a bit of luck, but we fought for it."
Viseu Poor at Home
Academico Viseu had a great start at a difficult venue, coming away from Estadio da Luz with a 2-2 draw against Benfica. They trailed twice, equalising through Rúben Pereira and André Clóvis
That positivity couldn’t be translated to their debut at home, losing 1-0 to Santa Clara. They made a late rally but it was too little too late, ending with 0.69-1.26 xG.
Manager Bruno Pinheiro lamented an early mistake that led to Santa Clara’s goal: "We can't be the ones to make the championship harder than it already is, and in the first half we can't go in and concede a goal the way we did."
"It's halfway to losing. The first half was dominated by Santa Clara, the second by Académico, which intensified as time went on. Unfortunately, the opponent scored as a result of our mistake; we couldn't make any difference from our work"

Verdict
Academico didn’t create many chances at home against Santa Clara last time out. Maritimo are playing with plenty of confidence and with home advantage, I am taking the islanders.
