Braga vs Gil Vicente Predictions

• Gil Vicente completed a league double over Braga last season
• Gil Vicente drew seven of their final 12 league outings last term
• Braga have won only two of their last six meetings with Gil Vicente

Braga may not have things all their own way

Gil Vicente completed a Primeira Liga double over Braga last season, winning 1-0 here in September before repeating the feat in a 2-1 home success in February, and they could cause plenty of problems again.

Braga finished fourth last season but they were only two places and nine points above Gil Vicente, who were undone by just two wins in their final 12 outings.

However, Gil Vicente stopped the rot in a 1-0 win at home to Rio Ave in their league opener and Braga have a point to prove after being held to a 2-2 draw at Moreirense first time up.

The hosts have already played four Conference League qualifiers this season, so have been kept busy, and they were frustrated in a goalless draw with Dinamo Minsk on Thursday.

Plucky visitors look underrated

Braga have won only two of their last six meetings with Gil Vicente, so will be wary of the threat the visitors possess.

Gil Vicente picked up positive results in 12 of their 17 away league games last season and they look a big price to avoid defeat.

Braga, despite finishing fourth last season, won only eight of their 17 home games and they can sometimes struggle to turn draws into victories.

Both teams drew 11 of their 34 league games last season and 1-1 appeals as Gil Vicente shared the spoils in seven of their final 12 league outings in 2025-26.
