GIL Vicente
Braga's impressive streak of four consecutive wins has brought them within just three points of Porto in third place. A victory today would see them draw level on points—an outcome that seemed unlikely just 15 days ago given their previous form. However, they have responded brilliantly, securing 12 straight points.
Despite this resurgence, Braga has struggled in away matches. They are among the three teams that have conceded the most goals on the road this season—Arouca (21), Gil Vicente (20), and Moreirense (20). Their attacking output has also been concerning, with only seven goals scored and just one win in their last five away games.
This stark contrast to their home form is evident, as they have collected 16 points at home compared to just six away.
In the last six head-to-head encounters with Gil Vicente, Braga has won three times, drawn twice, and lost once.
What we say
Braga to Win
We've closely followed Braga this season, and while their performances were shaky just 15 days ago, their recent form suggests those struggles are behind them. With strong motivation, a crucial need for points, a favorable head-to-head record, and the fact that Gil Vicente concedes nearly two goals per game in away matches, we expect the home side to secure a valuable win. Adding to Gil Vicente’s challenges, they will be without their main defender, Fernández, who is suspended after receiving a red card in the previous game against Estoril—a significant loss for their defensive stability. A victory here would see Braga draw level with Porto in third place.
