Maritimo Funchal vs Sporting Braga Match Preview
A plethora of new arrivals at both clubs over the transfer window has generated a lot of interest in a game between two teams who would expect to be far higher up the table than they are at this stage of the season.
Expectations are high regarding Braga’s loan signing of Ukra from FC Porto and Maritimo’s capture of Edinho, also on loan, from Malaga.
Braga can ill afford another defeat as they attempt to get into the mix for a European berth. Maritimo coach Pedro Martins last week intimated that even given their lowly position he still believes qualification for the Europa League for a second successive season is possible. A tricky one to call.
