Braga are undefeated in 2017 so far. The visiting side took 4-0 win over Covilha in the League Cup and drew with Nacional in the league. As the result, the team is second in their League Cup group with three points gained and third in the Primeira Liga with 33 points. Braga played 12 matches on the road this season, taking four wins, four draws and suffering four defeats. However, we should note the fact that the team won only one of their recent six matches on the road starting the middle of October.
Maritimo and Braga faced one another this season already in the league match in Funchal. The hosting side won that game, 1-0. Considering recent results of the teams and mediocre results on the road showed by Braga, we can expect the hosting side at least avoid defeats in upcoming clash.
Prediction for the match: Maritimo to win with +0,5 Asian handicap (1X).
