Marítimo vs Santa Clara prediction, odds and how to watch

Santa Clara and Sporting Braga cancelled each other out in a scrappy Liga Portugal draw that produced seven yellow cards, one shot on target each, and precisely nothing in the way of cutting edge.

Gil Vicente dominated large portions of this Liga Portugal contest but were denied all three points when Israel Isaac Ayuma equalised for Marítimo in the 90th minute, cancelling out Murilo de Souza Costa's early opener.

Marítimo came to Moreirense and did the basics better, scoring twice in the first half and adding a penalty late on to run out 3-1 winners. Moreirense had the ball, had the attacks, and produced nothing with either.

Santa Clara took all three points at Arouca with a 2-1 victory in Liga Portugal, scoring twice before half-time through Gonçalo Paciência and Djé before holding on despite finishing the match with ten men.

Alverca looked set to claim a precious home win after Vivaldo Semedo's header on 69 minutes, but Santa Clara substitute Brenner levelled with three minutes to go to earn a point in a tight Liga Portugal encounter.

Santa Clara dismantled Rio Ave 4-0 in Liga Portugal, with goals from Brenner, Tiago Ribeiro, and Vinícius Lopes doing the damage in a performance that exposed every weakness Rio Ave have shown in recent weeks.

Porto arrive at Marítimo on Saturday having won all five of their last completed Liga Portugal matches, conceding just one goal across that run. Marítimo have shipped eight in five. This is not a contest. It is a test of how badly Porto want the clean sheet.

Casa Pia have not scored in five consecutive Liga Portugal matches and face a Santa Clara side who have not lost in their last five. Something has to give on Saturday.
