Sporting Braga Preview – Can Braga rekindle form?
Following two defeats and a draw, Sporting Braga will no doubt be keen to bounce back at home with a win when they entertain Vitoria Guimaraes at their Estádio Municipal de Braga as the hosts look to nail down one of the Europa League qualifier spots on Thursday night.
4th placed Braga currently occupy one of the Europa League qualifier spots but they’ve made hard work of securing this top four spot after losing to Santa Clara 3-2 away from home and a narrow 1-0 loss at home to Boavista, although they did pick up a useful point on the road in a 0-0 draw with 6th placed Famalicao on the weekend.
Braga also possess a pretty solid home record which reads 7-3-3 22/16 which includes just one defeat out of their last six matches, while four wins from these last six at home should give Braga enough impetus to get over the line in this encounter.
Vitoria Guimaraes Preview – Can Guimaraes stay in the frame?
This upcoming clash away at Sporting Braga represents a ‘must-win’ clash for Thursday evening’s visitors, Vitoria Guimaraes, if they’re to reduce the deficit on 4th placed Braga and stay in the frame for a possible Europa League spot.
7th placed Vitoria Guimaraes are currently seven points adrift of their hosts, Braga, prior to this ‘six-pointer’ and although they bring a six-match unbeaten run with them into this clash, the visitors have drawn their last three matches on the trot in the Primeira Liga.
Wins against Desportivo Aves, Tondela and Pacos Ferreira have been followed by draws with Sporting CP, Belenenses and Moreirense, while recent results away from home will give Guimaraes cause for optimism, having registered wins at Famalicao 7-0, Aves 2-0 and Ferreira 2-1.
