Braga set for win in Portimao

On Thursday night, Portimonense host Sporting Braga in the Primeira Liga, as the visitors look to make up ground on league leaders Porto.

Portimonense are currently eighth in the Portuguese top-flight table and could move up to fifth place with a victory in this clash. The team from the Algarve have been on a decent run of form of late in the Primeira Liga.

In fact, a 2-1 defeat at Maritimo last time out ended a three-game winning run for the home side. Their recent league games have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last six matches in the league.

Portimonense have built their respectable league position on home form. In fact, they are unbeaten in seven games on home soil in the Primeira Liga, while winning five of their last six matches at the Estadio Municipal de Portimao.

The Portimao outfit has also been prolific at home in the league of late, scoring at least twice in six of their last seven outings.

Sporting Braga are currently second place in the Portuguese top-flight, six points behind league leaders Porto.

Braga have been on a good run of form of late, winning five of their last six league matches. Last time out the visitors recorded a 1-0 win over Boavista. The win saw Braga keep their fifth clean sheet in their last six matches in the Portuguese top-flight.

One negative for Sporting Braga is their recent away record in the Primeira Liga, as they have won just three of their last eight games on their travels. Their recent away games in the league have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine matches.

Forebet predicts that Sporting Braga will continue their good form by recording a victory in a high scoring encounter.
