Braga vs Vitoria Guimaraes Predictions

• Braga are on a seven match unbeaten run in the Primeira Liga.
• Guimaraes have just one win in their last six league games.
• Braga have averaged 1.85 goals per game this season, conceding a goal a game.
• Guimaraes have averaged 1.28 goals per game this season and have only conceded six away from home.

Braga’s Champions League ambition

Braga will be hoping to pick up another win this week as they look to increase the pressure on Porto in the race for Champions League football next season. Braga are currently two points behind their rivals but this is their game in hand and they know a win will give them the advantage heading into the run in.

The side are on a seven match unbeaten run that has seen them win six games and draw once, against Porto in February. They’ve scored over two goals a game in that period and will be keen to keep that run of form going.

European dreams dying for Guimaraes

Vitoria Guimaraes have their own European hopes this season but their recent poor run of form has seen them fall six points behind fifth placed, Ferreira in the chase for the Europa Conference League next season.

They’ve won just once in their last six games, picking up six points and struggling to keep pace with the top five. A win in their last game, against lowly Boavista, would’ve improved confirmed with just one clean sheet in their last six things are starting to look daunting for the side.

A one sided affair in Portugal

Braga come into this game as favourites and all the signs point to them emerging with the victory against a Guimaraes. The hosts have the much better form, have been scoring at will and have home advantage and its hard to see Guimaraes coming away with anything from the game.

We’re confident in backing the hosts to win this game but with Guimaraes scoring in each of their last five games, we’re going to side with Braga winning but both teams scoring in this match.

Confidence should be high within the home squad though and they should have enough to see off their opponents in a 3-1 win.
