However, they are in third place in the Group B table of the League Cup after suffering a 6-0 defeat against Sporting Lisbon in their opening game of the season in the competition.
Farense has a poor recent record in the Taca da Liga, as they have won just one of their last 14 matches in the competition.
They have also failed to win any of their previous seven home games in the Taca da Liga while also failing to score too.
The visitors could well be swapping places with Farense next season, as they occupy one of the relegation spots in the Primeira Liga. Maritimo head into this game on the back of just one win in their last 19 competitive games dating back to last season.
Like the home team, Maritimo lost their opening game in Group B, suffering a 1-0 home defeat against Rio Ave.
The result continued a poor run of form in the Taca da Liga, as they have won just one of their previous nine matches in the competition, having failed to win in their last five games.
Their recent games in the Taca da Liga have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches.
Forebet predicts that Farense will record a victory in a low-scoring game to move them up Group B.
