Prediction

  • Santa Clara put in a great performance in Alvalade for the Portuguese Cup and even managed to take the game against Sporting to extra time. However, they ended up losing the game at the end of 120 minutes, in what was the second consecutive defeat for Vasco Matos' men.
  • A brace from Ricardo Horta prevented SC Braga from losing their home game with Famalicão last Monday. The 3-3 draw, however, cannot be seen as a good result for a team that should be striving for ambitious goals this season.
  • Santa Clara have had a fantastic season, but they come into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats and with a lot of fatigue after a game that went to extra time on Wednesday. Given this and SC Braga's superior technical quality, the visitors should get all three points here.
