THE PREDICTION

Sporting Braga were beaten conclusively 2-0 away at Sporting Lisbon on Saturday but have won three of their last five league games and are going well enough up in fourth place of the Primeira Liga and awaiting the last 32 of the Europa League. They should expect a bounce back performance against Maritimo, who have gone on a three-match unbeaten streak but admittedly against teams they should be beating. What is up in the air here is clean sheets, as Braga have kept three in their last three at home in the league whilst Maritimo have scored in each of their last five away matches. Sporting Braga to win and both teams to score, on the balance of things, looks likelier than a fourth clean sheet in a row for the hosts here.
