Braga vs Belenenses Predictions

• Braga are undefeated in 18 of their last 19 home matches against Belenenses SAD in all competitions.
• Belenenses have failed to score in six of their last seven away league matches.
• The last six meetings between these two have averaged 2.66 goals per game.

Below-par Braga

Sporting Braga get back underway in the Primeira Liga when they play host to Belenenses at the Braga Municipal on Sunday night. The home side have struggled for consistent form lately and will be looking to bounce back here after a narrow 1-0 loss to league leaders FC Porto last weekend, as well as a shock 5-1 defeat to Boavista in the league cup. It was a game where only one team looked like winning and it was only due to Porto wasting a number of big chances that the game remained so tight.

The visitors were defeated by Estoril-Praia last time out and it’s no surprise given that they were decimated by absences due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the squad. They have however shown signs of recovery and will be looking for a repeat of their last two trips to Braga, both ending in 1-1 draws. However, if they’re to achieve that they’ll need to improve across the field as they failed to hit a shot on target in their last match and have failed to find the back of the net for three straight games.

Cagey clash expected in Portugal

Neither side has impressed lately, but Braga have more quality and are the stronger of the two sides. Both teams have been pretty poor going forward and their games have been tense and cagey affairs. We think Braga will find a goal to edge this one in a low scoring match.
