Win for Braga
Braga are looking for a fifth consecutive victory in all competitions and they continue to be impressive in many areas of the pitch. Braga have a one-point advantage over Porto coming into the game, but they are likely to face a lot of resistance from Pacos Ferreira. The prediction has just witnessed a sharp improvement in performances from Pacos Ferreira following the managerial change and the league’s bottom club may not be a pushover anymore.
Total goals over 2.5
There have been over 2.5 goals in four out of the last five matches involving Braga. This is largely due to the second-placed outfit being able to pushover many of the opponents who have come their way. This Braga team are the second-highest scorers in the league with 37 goals so far.
Goals from both teams
Even though Braga rarely concede goals against Pacos Ferreira, they are likely to do so in this upcoming match. The home team will be heavily motivated after the first win of the season, while Braga have kept clean sheets in just 50% of the last four away matches.
Pacos Ferreira vs Braga: Can Braga halt Pacos Ferreira’s momentum?
Pacos Ferreira
Pacos Ferreira were finally relieved to have picked up the first win of the season. They have also managed a first clean sheet in the process. Manager César Peixoto has been able to produce significant improvement in results straight away. The performances of Pacos Ferreira in the two matches under César Peixoto have been impressive but the real test comes in the game against Braga.
This will be the first in a run of three successive home fixtures for Pacos Ferreira. They will have to give an improved account of their scoring abilities. Pacos have only scored nine goals this season, 28 fewer than rivals Braga. César Peixoto has a clean bill of health in the dressing room with only Luíz Carlos missing this meeting with an injury.
Braga
Braga are unlikely to be focused much on catching Benfica, who hold a four-point advantage at the top. The real pressure on Braga is from Porto, who are a point behind in the league table. For the upcoming game, coach Artur Jorge is unlikely to make too many changes to the line-up with only Sikou Niakate doubtful because of injuries.
All eyes will be on Ricardo Horta, who is leading Braga’s scoring charts with 8 goals. The Portuguese has also laid down 5 assists in their cause. Young Vitinha cannot be overlooked as the 22-year-old has contributed to their cause with 6 goals and 2 assists.
