Prediction: 2-1
Maritimo
All eyes will be on Estadio Municipal de Braga when Braga and Maritimo face each other in the La Liga round 13. Braga aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Sporting, but they will have to do it without injured duo Fonte – Moura. You should bear in mind that Carlos Carvalhal’s men are eyeing their fifth consecutive win at home in all competitions. Maritimo, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures.
O Maior das Ilhas, though, failed to impress in a goalless draw with Boavista, and seeing that Braga are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Madeira empty-handed. Milton Mendes should have a full squad to choose from against Braga, but that is unlikely to help the visiting team grab something from the game.
