Marítimo come into this game with a horrible form, occupying the 15th place with 11 points from 12 games. They got a last minute draw against Feirense last time out, ending a run of six straights defeats. Backup right-back Nanu is the only injury concern for Marítimo ahead of this match, otherwise Petit has a full squad available.
Benfica are undefeated in 34 of their last 38 matches in the league. They've won 28 games, drawing 6 and losing only 3 from the 37 matches these two teams have met. Although Benfica has failed to get a win from Estádio dos Barreiros in the last two season, their recovery from a bad series of results in the league and champions league will play a big role in these match. Tyronne Ebuehi, Eduardo Salvio and Rafa (who got injured against AEK Athens in midweek) are the only injuries in the Benfica's squad.
