The team from the capital is in last place in the table with only 10 points, with only 4 rounds and 12 points left to play for. Relegation to the second division seems like an inevitable outcome, given the significant points difference compared to their direct competitors in the fight to avoid relegation.
With 13 points, Ferroviário de Quelimane occupies the penultimate position, while Ferroviário de Nacala, the last team in the relegation zone, has 22 points, more than double the points of Matchedje de Maputo. This disparity puts Matchedje in an extremely delicate position, where the prospect of escaping relegation seems almost impossible.
To even dream of staying in the league, Matchedje de Maputo faces a Herculean challenge. The team would need to win all of its remaining games, a task that is difficult in itself, and would also depend on Ferroviário de Quelimane and Ferroviário de Nacala losing all four of their remaining matches. This scenario makes Matchedje's survival a statistical improbability.
