Thanks much Sponner !

Under normal circunstances this game will have a maximum of 1 goal, a 1-1 draw at worst...but the way things are going the last couple of days it wouldn't surprise me if the final result is 5-4 ...

I will take the under on this one issacmok.

IMO the teams are similar in value.
Setúbal has an advantage as they have the "backbone" (3 out of 4 defenders and the 3 midfielders) from last season in the team, while Marítimo made more changes to the team.
On the other hand, IMO Marítimo has more and better bench options.
All time record for league games between these teams in Setúbal is: 12-6-4.
I expect a tight game tonight with no goals or only 1 goal.

I watched a really good game last night on bet365, Liexões - Benfica. It was entertaining and I was impressed by Leixões because they totally owned second half so the domination by Leixões makes me think they will easily defeat any other team then the top teams at home. Leixões of course deserved an equaliser in the last minutes because they just kept on attacking. Hugo Morais, Wesley and Bruno Braga in Leixões did a great job.

Hi Kurt, sorry I didn't catch your question before...easy to reply now but something told me it was gonna be 1-0 for either side...it was a close call.

My pick for today:

Setúbal-Marítimo
Two slow paced and defensive oriented teams in this match.
Setúbal has 5 unders in their last 6 overall and 6 unders in their last 6 home games.
Marítimo has 5 unders in their last 6 overall with the only over in their last UEFA Cup game away to Valencia when the ref called the most pathetic penalty against them in the last minute of the game (out of which the Spanish team made it 2-1).
There's also 8 unders in the last 10 meetings between these teams at Estádio do Bonfim.
At this price I'll risk the under 2 here.
My pick: <2 (2.01); push

Good luck!

...this game was going nowhere but a 0-0 draw...
...1st goal is the pathetic mistake of the month (kind of "3 stooges" mistake) with a Setúbal defender trying to drible the Marítimo forward (don't know what crossed his mind...I guess his brain stopped or something) when he was the last defender...he lost the ball and the Marítimo player only had to kick it home for the 1-0. Unbelievable !!!

Again, game is in it's 3rd minute of extra time (4 were given by the ref), Setúbal is trying to go for the draw and this time around it was the Setúbal keeper that trying to clear the ball hit a Marítimo forward who grabbed the ball and scored ...
...two huge mistakes in a dull 0-0 game!

Things will get back to normal (this is just too much and will not go on forever...) and I'll get to the winning column also in football soon!

Agreed, JC, never looked like goals and those scored were just unbelievable.
