Prediction: 0-2
Braga
Maritimo and Braga go head to head at Estadio dos Barreiros in a highly-anticipated Primeira Liga game. Maritimo are fighting hard to secure the elite division survival, but they head into Sunday’s game following back-to-back defeats to Porto (0-2) and Chaves (1-2). The good news for the hosts is that all Pablo Moreno, Vitor Costa and Edgar Costa are back from suspensions.
The Reds, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 5-0 loss to Sporting, with the team rolling over Famalicao 4-1 at the weekend. Bruma could sneak into the starting XI after scoring a brace at the weekend, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. Anyhow, we predict that Braga will take advantage of the current situation in Maritimo’s dressing room. In the first half of the season the Reds hammered Jose Gomes’ men 5-0.
