Mitchell van der Gaag will field the same starting eleven in Saturday's match against Arouca. The Marítimo coach maintains the bet on the team that started the first three matches of the 2026/27 Primeira Liga.

The decision not to make any changes is linked to the fact that the green-and-red side remained unbeaten in this return to the top tier of Portuguese football. Marítimo achieved positive results that justify the continuity of the group of players.

The players who will keep their place in the starting eleven are Alfonso Pastor, Igor Julião, Romain Correia, Rafael Fernandes, Paulo Henrique, Danilovic, Rodrigo Andrade, Raphael Guzzo, Simo, Adrian Butzke and Martín Tejón. This stability in the starting lineup demonstrates the coach's confidence in the work developed.
