Maritimo vs Braga Predictions

• Braga’s only defeats in their last 15 league starts have been against Benfica and Sporting Lisbon (W9, D4).
• The visitors are unbeaten in their last six away trips, winning four.
• Maritimo have scored in their last two home matches and in four of their last six outings in Funchal.

Braga to clinch vital win in Funchal

Braga are five points shy of the top three and need to beat Maritimo in Funchal this Thursday to keep their Champions League qualification hopes alive.

Their opponents are in decent form after winning three of their last four starts, however, those victories have been against sides currently in the bottom four. Braga represent a completely different test for the Madeirans, and we expect the away side to prevail.

Carlos Carvalhal’s men have won nine of their last 15 league matches and have lost to only Benfica and Sporting Lisbon in that sequence. Braga are extremely consistent against teams outside of the big three and they also go into this clash unbeaten in their last six away trips, winning four.

The visitors’ price is quite skinny at around 1/2, so we’re recommending a wager on Braga to win and both teams to score. That’s been the case in the last three meetings and Maritimo have managed to net in four of their last six starts at Estadio dos Barreiros.
