Prediction

  • SC Braga got a huge win as they came from a 2-goal deficit to beat Union Berlin by 3-2 in Germany at the UEFA Champions League. The 'Bracarenses' have been prolific upfront and will look to continue that run at home.
  • Rio Ave FC lost 4-0 to Moreirense last time out which increased their winless run to six matches. Luís Freire' men need to improve if they want to escape the relegation zone.
  • In the last 5 matches between the sides in Braga, the hosts have won 4 times, a run that might be extended here as they are huge favorites to get all three points.
