Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Maritimo return to the Primeira Liga stage with a demanding test at Estadio do Maritimo, where Benfica are the visitors for Matchday 5. The Madeira side have made a respectable start after earning promotion back to Portugal’s top flight, collecting seven points from their first four league games.

Their latest setback, however, came in a 2-1 defeat away to Arouca, making Saturday’s home fixture an opportunity to respond immediately. Benfica arrive with a stronger early record and plenty of attacking momentum.
The Eagles have seven points from their first three league matches, including a 2-1 win over Estoril in their most recent Primeira Liga outing. Vangelis Pavlidis has been one of the main difference-makers, with five goals putting him at the top of the league’s scoring chart heading into the trip to Madeira.
The numbers also underline the challenge facing Maritimo. Benfica have dominated this matchup historically, with 27 wins in 32 recorded meetings, compared with four for Maritimo and one draw.
The Lisbon club have also won their last six encounters with Maritimo, meaning the hosts will need to break a significant recent trend if they are to take points from one of Portugal‘s traditional powers.
