Braga Preview – Can Braga upset Porto?
A four-match winning streak from mid-February through to early March proved to be the decisive turning point in helping Braga achieve their top four finish in the Primeira Liga as they registered wins against Benfica, Vitoria Setubal, Maritimo and Portimonense, which is just as well as Braga have since gone off the boil in recent times.
4th placed Braga can’t be caught now as the hosts hold a four-point lead over 5th placed Famalicao with just this final weekend of fixtures remaining, but three wins from their last nine matches overall suggests that Braga limped across the finish line rather than tearing right through it.
Victories over Vitoria Guimaraes, Desportivo Aves and Pacos Ferreira saw Braga take advantage of inferior opponents but four defeats within this period also meant that they couldn’t keep up the pace of 2nd placed Benfica, let alone Saturday’s opponents, Porto.
Porto Preview – Can Porto win seven on the trot?
An impressive six-match winning streak helped seal yet another domestic title for Saturday’s visitors, Porto, and they hold an unassailable eight-point lead over 2nd placed Benfica prior to this weekend’s final round of matches in the Primeira Liga.
Victories over Boavista, Pacos Ferreira, Belenenses, Tondela, Sporting CP and Moreirense have confirmed Porto’s automatic qualification for next season’s Champions League, and the visitors will no doubt be eager in closing out their campaign with a seventh win on the trot away at Braga on Saturday.
Porto have also won seven of their last nine matches on their travels amidst an overall impressive away record which stands at 11-3-2 29/13 but they’ve lost their last two meetings on the trot against Braga, so perhaps they’re not guaranteed another win here.
