SC Braga – Famalicao

Match analysis

SC Braga head into the home fixture against Famalicão perched in eighth place with seven points from four games – two wins, a draw and a loss, and a modest +1 goal difference (six scored, five conceded). Their opponents sit twelfth, having collected four points without a win, four draws and two defeats, and they sit on a –2 goal deficit after netting five and letting in seven. The gap in the table and Braga’s superior scoring record suggest the hosts will look to press their advantage, while Famalicão will be hoping to turn a string of stalemates into a rare victory and climb out of the lower half of the table.
