Struggling Marítimo will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Sporting Braga in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Marítimo have the fewest scored goals (9) at home in Primeira Liga
- Sporting Braga have the most scored goals in the first half (30) in Primeira Liga
Marítimo have less rest than Sporting Braga in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Primeira Liga game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Boavista, so at least Marítimo are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Marítimo form and stats
With 4 Primeira Liga wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Marítimo, who have the fewest scored goals (9) at home in Primeira Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Marítimo after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Marítimo goalkeeper Amir Abedzadeh is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 182 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primeira Liga.
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Rio Ave.
Marítimo have scored 9 league goals here from 14 matches, not a lot. Marítimo's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Sporting Braga form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Primeira Liga travels is 8 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
Impressive finishing from Fransérgio and Andraž Šporar secured the home win 2-1 against Boavista in their previous game. A 0-0 draw at Rio Ave's stadium before that.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager C. Soares da Costa Faria Carvalhal when Andraž Šporar scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 75th minute.
Sporting Braga has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 25 goals from 14 games. 16 goals have been conceded by Braga in these games.
