Sporting Braga Preview – Can Braga win three on trot?
Following recent back-to-back wins against Gil Vicente and Moreirense, 3rd placed Sporting Braga will be seeking to capture a third win on the trot in the Primeira Liga when they play host to 13th placed Portimonense and in turn, hopefully reduce the points deficit on 2nd placed Porto.
Five wins out of their last seven matches overall have kept Sporting Braga in the frame for at least a top five finish in the Primeira Liga but with five points separating them from Porto, Braga haven’t completely ruled out a top two finish either.
The bigger picture shows that Braga have won 11 of their last 14 matches overall, so the hosts will be confident that they can further improve an already impressive home record of 6-0-1 10/3 on Thursday night.
Portimonense Preview – Can Portimonense end Braga dominance?
13th placed Portimonense will make their way to face in-form Sporting Braga on the back of just two wins out of their last eight matches overall in the Portuguese top flight, both of which were recorded on home turf at their Estádio Municipal de Portimão.
Results away from home though have been poor for Portimonense as the visitors are without an away win from their last six matches, losing five of these with losses suffered at Tondela, Porto, Guimaraes, Benfica and Rio Ave.
The bigger picture is even worse as they’ve managed just two wins out of their last 24 matches on their travels, so they look to have their work cut out here.
