It seems that Porto are determined to keep pace with champions Benfica at the top of the Primeira Liga table. On Friday night, Sergio Conceicao’s team host Sporting Braga, as they look to move to within a point of the reigning champions.
Porto have won 13 of their 16 games in the Portuguese top-flight, including a 2-0 win at their title rivals. In recent games, they have won six and drawn one of their last seven games in the Primeira Liga.
Only Benfica have scored more goals than the home team this season. Their prolific form in front of goal was been on full show of late, as Porto have scored at least two goals in four of their last five league outings.
Porto have been simply formidable on home soil in the Primeira Liga, winning their last 12 league games at the Estadio Do Dragao.
As to be expected, they have been impressive at both ends of the pitch on home soil recently, as Conceicao’s team has scored at least twice in ten of those aforementioned 12 games, while also keeping an incredible 11 clean sheets in the run.
Sporting Braga are in need of a victory to put themselves back in the picture for the European spots this season in the Primeira Liga. They are currently five points outside the top-four in the Portuguese top-flight.
After a patchy recent run of form, the visitors have now recorded back-to-back wins over Belenenses and last time out Tondela. The former victory saw Braga smash seven past Belenenses on their own turf.
The visitors have been highly inconsistent on their travels of late in the Primeira Liga, as they have won three of their last ten away matches in the Portuguese top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Porto will cruise to a victory in a high-scoring clash to put them within touching distance of leaders Benfica.
