**Vitória bring the hammer at home**, and Marítimo's travelling woes make this a lopsided affair on paper. 🔨 The hosts have won 20 of 34 meetings all-time and are rolling domestically — Marítimo, meanwhile, have won just once in five and lost three of those.

Vitória won their last two Liga encounters with clean sheets. Marítimo's sole recent W came on the road, but they've struggled away from home. The missing **A. Ndoye** suspension hurts Vitória's squad depth, though their XI remains potent.

Key storylines:

- **O. Zych** and company will bank on home turf dominance — Vitória's defence has been tight lately
- **B. Limbombe** and the Marítimo attack need to nick something on the road, but their form screams vulnerability
- **G. Silva** and the Vitória creative crew should find space against a Marítimo side without a win in four

Expected lineups:

- **Vitória SC**: O. Zych, J. Mendes, T. Balieiro, Ó. Rivas, T. Strata, G. Nogueira, L. Doucet, O. Camara, Samu, G. Silva, A. Jakupović
- **CS Marítimo**: A. Pastor, P. Henrique, R. Correia, R. Fernandes, I. Julião, R. Guzzo, V. Danilović, M. Tejón, R. Andrade, B. Limbombe, A. Butzke

Prediction:

**Vitória 2–0 Marítimo** — the hosts' home record and Marítimo's fragile form give Guimaraes a clear edge. 📍
