Our prediction for this Portugal League Cup match:
Maritimo kicked off their Taca da Liga campaign with a 1-1 draw with Pacos de Ferreira, with the team suffering a 2-1 loss to Sporting Braga in their second group game. Os Maior das Ilhas did well to beat Boavista in their last home game in the national championship, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Penafiel.
Maritimo have big ambitions for the 2019/2020 Taca da Liga campaign, and we are positive that they are going to leave their hearts on the field in Saturday’s football match. Penafiel have been struggling in all competitions this term. The Segunda Liga side suffered a 3-1 loss to Sporting Braga in their Taca da Liga opener, with the team losing to Pacos de Ferreira in their second group match. Given their poor form, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed from the trip to Madeira.
