Braga vs Moreirense Predictions

• Braga have won the last five meetings with Moreirense in the league with an aggregate score of 14-5.
• Braga have won seven of their last 11 league fixtures.
• Moreirense have lost five of their last seven away league contests.

Braga can maintain local bragging rights

Braga can maintain their dominance of neighbouring Moreirense when the two sides meet in the Primeira Liga this Sunday.

Carlos Carvalhal’s team took the points in Moreira de Cónegos earlier this season thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Ricardo Horta. It was a thrilling game in which Braga had been pegged back from 2-0 up by the hosts just a few minutes before the dramatic conclusion.

Braga did it again last week when downing the champions Sporting 2-1 in their own backyard and will surely be in the mood to maintain a strong mid-season sequence of results. The hosts have won seven of their last eleven in the league and have scored an impressive 21 goals in that time.

Handicap option looks better than win to nil

They go into this game as red hot favourites to take the points and may well be able to shut Moreirense out too. the visitors have managed to score only seven times on their travels this season, but have done so at least once in 60% of their games.

Although Braga may have only won half of their home games this term, four of those five were achieved with at least a goal to spare – making the hosts to cover a -1 handicap again here a much better alternative to the win to nil option.

As far as a correct score forecast goes, our preference is for a 3-1 home win because the guests have proven capable of scoring at Braga in four of their last five meetings, although they lost all of them, and their last two trips to the Quarry.
