FC Porto vs Braga Predictions

• Porto have won their last three league games with over 2.5 goals in the game each time
• Braga lost 3-0 at Olympiakos on Thursday night
• Samu Omorodion has scored seven goals in his last five Porto appearances

More goals for Omorodion

Samu Omorodion can ensure Porto pick up all three points in a high-scoring Primeira Liga clash with Sporting Braga on Sunday evening.

The Spaniard, who was inexplicably substituted after scoring twice to haul Porto ahead against Manchester United on Thursday, is in superb form with seven goals in his last five appearances.

United’s central defenders could not handle his pace, power and aggression in a 3-3 Europa League draw that did neither side any favors in terms of qualification for the knockout rounds.

Braga’s central defenders are losing battles

However, Porto can take some positives from the performance as they return to domestic action this weekend against Braga. The Arsenalistas lost 3-0 to Olympiakos in the same competition on Thursday and struggled to cope with Ayoub El Kaabi — a striker with a similar physical profile to Omorodion.

Braga’s central defenders lost a lot of aerial battles with the Moroccan centre forward and that does not auger well for them going into this contest. Porto have won their last three league games with over 2.5 goals in the game each time and this game should follow suit.

Whether it is 3-0 to Porto or 2-1 may depend on whether Diogo Costa has sorted out the issues that caused him to make weak attempts at saving United’s first two goals on Thursday.
