Betting on C.S. Marítimo
First, we have Marítimo, who are in second-to-last place in the Primeira Liga table and who, unfortunately, have had very bad results that almost assured them of relegation. After 19 games played, it has won three, drawn four, and lost twelve. In addition, they have only been able to score 12 goals and have conceded 35. This leaves them with a -23 goal differential and 13 points.
Regarding the last five Primeira Liga matches they have played, they have won two of them (1-0 vs Sporting Lisbon; 1-0 vs Estoril) and lost in the other three (3-0 vs Vizela; 0-2 vs Porto; 2-1 vs Chaves). In that span, they have scored three goals and allowed seven in five games.
The players who have helped them score in these matches have been Cláudio Winck and Renê. Although Winck scored on two occasions, both were penalty goals and not with the ball in play, which is a factor to be taken into account.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Giorgi Makaridze; Moisés Mosquera, Renê, Zainadine Júnior; Cláudio Winck, João Alfonso, Percy Liza, Léo Pereira; André Vidigal, Stanley Kanu, Jesús Ramírez.
Betting on Sporting Braga
On the other hand, Braga is in third place behind the leaders, Benfica and Porto. They are two points away from catching Porto and qualifying directly to the Champions League group stage, and that is what they want to achieve. Of the 19 games played, it has won 14, drawn one, and lost four. In terms of goals, they have scored 43 and conceded 19.
The most recent rounds of the Primeira Liga have been tremendously satisfactory, except for one match they surprisingly lost. They have won four games (0-4 vs Santa Clara; 1-0 vs Boavista; 1-2 vs Paços Ferreira; 4-1 vs Famalicão) and lost one (5-0 vs Sporting Lisbon) for a total of 11 goals scored and 7 conceded in five games.
Simon Banza, Bruma, Vitinha, Ricardo Horta, Irui Madeiros, and André Horta were the players who scored in these matches. All of them, except Medeiros and André Horta, scored two goals in these matches.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Matheus; Nuno Sequeira, Vítor Tormena, Paulo Oliveira; Víctor Gómez, André Horta, Uros Racic, Cristian Borja, Álvaro Djaló; Abel Ruiz, Simon Banza.
JefeBet Prediction
Both at home and away, Braga has crushed its opponents in this edition of the Primeira Liga, and although Marítimo desperately needs a win, they do not have what it takes to beat Braga. For this reason, we believe that the visitor will come out on top.
Prediction: Braga win 2-0.
