Sporting Braga Preview – Can Braga bounce back?
Recent back-to-back defeats against Sporting CP and Maritimo have left Sporting Braga in 4th place and now eight points adrift of 3rd placed Benfica and it looks like the hosts will have to make do with their current position unless they can win their last four games on the trot.
Having lost their last two on the trot though and the impending visit of 5th placed Pacos Ferreira on Wednesday night, Braga will be concentrating on avoiding a third defeat on the bounce here while the bigger picture shows they’ve won just two of their last eight matches overall.
Braga have also won just three of their last seven games at home with only two wins being by a 2-goal margin or higher, while only three of their total of 10 home wins have also been by the same margin as well.
Pacos Ferreira Preview – Can Pacos win back-to-back?
A welcome 1-0 home win over Belenenses last time out in the Portuguese top flight handed Pacos Ferreira a valuable three points and also ended a dismal run of five matches without a win for the visitors.
Pacos Ferreira will be breathing a little easier now that they possess a useful seven-point cushion over 6th placed Vitoria Guimaraes but they’ve suffered a slump in results away from home in recent times.
The visitors have lost five of their last six away from home with all five defeats also being by 2 goals or more but they did grab a point at rio Ave in a 1-1 draw in their last outing on the road.
