Match Overview
Famalicao travel to take on Braga in the first round of the new season of the Liga Portugal at the Estadio Municipal de Braga on Friday. While the home team will feel that they can get the better of the latter, the visiting side, who have scored seven goals in their last appearances, will try to argue otherwise. Braga too have scored just seven goals in their last five matches.
Key Highlights
Braga have scored two or more goals on all the occasions in the last four matches that these two teams have played against each other. Famalicao, for their part, have not won a game in their last eight attempts to do so, despite the fact that they have been unbeaten in two out of their last five matches. Braga's attackers will feel that they can take on Famalicao's defenders.
Injury Report
Theo Fonseca, who is suffering from a cruciate ligament injury, is expected to come back in the latter half of this month for Famalicao. Until then, the visiting side will have to make do without his services.
Prediction
Although Braga have not been defeated in eight out of the nine times they have played against Famalicao in recorded history, the visiting side will come into this game with the intention of getting all the points on offer. However, it is amply clear to the spectator that Braga are the downright favourites to win this game, and should either win it or draw.
