**Montalegre's got the vibe, Maia's got the wobbles.** One team's finding their feet with a win and a couple of stalemates; the other just can't catch a break at home. 🔴

Montalegre are mixing solidity (two 0-0s and a 2-0 win) with occasional slip-ups, while **Maia Lidador haven't picked up a single point** in their last three and keep losing on home turf. That's the kind of form gap that matters.

Key storylines:

- **Montalegre's defensive balance** under Cédric and A. Santos will face a Maia side desperate to convert pressure into goals
- **B. Dembélé leads Maia's attack**, but the service from midfield (Andrezinho, B. Sá, D. Gouveia) has dried up
- Home advantage in Montalegre's favor — **D. Carvalho and A. Djaló** are key to controlling tempo

Expected lineups:

- **CDC Montalegre**: D. Gomes, A. Esteves, A. Santos, Cédric, F. Neto, A. Paiva, D. Carvalho, A. Djaló, A. Vagarinho, B. Zakaria
- **FC Maia Lidador**: J. Neiva, C. Freitas, D. Paquete, D. Pires, G. Liça, Andrezinho, B. Sá, D. Gouveia, B. Dembélé, B. Candal

Prediction:

**Montalegre 2-0 Maia Lidador.** Montalegre's form and home comfort edges out a Maia side still searching for first blood. 📊
