The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Montalegre are in the 10th position while the guesting Bragança worry at 17th.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
