Estoril vs Braga Predictions

• Estoril have lost nine of 11 clashes with the top seven
• Braga have won nine of 12 trips to teams beneath them
• The visitors have won 12 of 16 clashes with teams in the bottom half

Braga chase Europa League spot

Braga are just two points off third place and they’re chasing down Porto in this weekend’s visit to Estoril. The hosts did Braga a favour with a 1-0 win over Porto at the end of March, but Braga will be hoping to avoid a similar fate away to a side who are just three points clear of the drop.

Braga were shocked at home by Arouca last week but that setback has seen their odds drift a little for this trip. The visitors look good for a win here, as they head to an Estoril outfit who have lost nine of 11 clashes with the top seven this term.

Braga have impressed against teams in the bottom half, securing 12 wins from 16 meetings with them. They’ve also won nine of 12 league visits to sides beneath them in the table, while Estoril’s win over Porto was the only one of their five home clashes with the top seven that they avoided defeat in.

Braga have won at Portimonense and Boavista in recent trips and those are two teams in and around Estoril at the moment. Braga scored nine times across those successes and they should prove too strong for Estoril in this trip.
