Sporting Braga:
Braga heads to Thursday’s meeting with Maritimo looking to bounce back from their loss to Primeira Liga leaders Sporting Lisbon in their last game.
Thus, those led by Carlos Carvalhal lost a great opportunity to get everything in the fight for the Primeira Liga title and thus stalled in fourth place with twenty-four points, eight points less than the leader Sporting Lisbon, but four points less than the second classified, so this Thursday he has to go out for everything in search of victory, and beware that before the falls against the Lions the Sporting Braga team had five consecutive victories.
What better place than to be local where the Archbishops have lost only once in their nine official games and she arrived in her first game, thus they come from adding victories in seven of those nine commitments.
Possible lineup: Matheus; Rolando, Silva, Sequeira; Esgaio, Musrati, Novais, Galen; R. Horta, Fransergio; Paulinho.
Maritime:
For their part, those led by Milton Mendes in their recent game could not make their homeowner condition prevail and tied at zero goals against Boavista, but beware that with this result Marítimo has added a streak of four official games without losing where they won three of them.
These results place him in seventh position, five points below Vitória Guimaraes, the last team in the European competition qualification zone, but he has to be careful with the relegation zone, from which he is three points away.
Regarding their performance as a visitor in the Primeira Liga, Marítimo’s team has lost four of their six games and faces a Sporting Braga against whom they have lost their last two direct games.
Possible lineup: Abedzadeh; Rene, Junior, Andrade; Winck, Bambock, Jean, Hermes; Guitane; Pinho, Joel.
PREDICTION: Braga to win @ 1,37
