Braga vs Famalicao Match Preview

After a bad start in the league with two consecutive defeats, Braga bounced back and comes from a three-game win streak. In the previous round, they prevailed 1-0 at home over Guimaraes. After this outcome, they reached 9 points in the league, sitting at the 7th place of the standings, 7 points away from the 1st place. 

In the meantime, Carlos Carvalhal's team is having an amazing run in the group stage of the Europa League, with a record of 2-0-0 so far.

Center-back Carmo as well as midfielder Fransergio will miss tonight's game, as both were red-carted in the previous match.

In the previous round, Famalicao shared points with Boavista making an amazing comeback late in the game. They were back in the scoreline by two goals, and with less than 5 minutes remaining in the game, Famalicao managed to equalize with the second goal coming at the 4th minute of added time.

With a total of 6 points after 5 rounds in the league, they are placed 12th in the standings, having scored at least one goal in each game so far. However, their defence has a lot of gaps, as we've seen in almost all their previous matches, where they concede many goals. 

There are no significant problems reported for the guests, as their only missing for today's match is striker Anderson, who hasn't performed yet this season.

Braga are the favourites in this match, trying to extend their winning streak to 4 consecutive league matches. However, I think that they will struggle a lot to keep a clean sheet here. Famalicao fancy playing very offensive football and I expect from them to score once again.

The BTTS: Yes is my pick for this one.
