Bragança are welcoming Mirandela for another important game after their 2-2 result against 17th-placed Cerveira.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Bragança form and stats

Bragança's struggle is real here with only 6 points collected from 8 2. Division: Group A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-4. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Bragança fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Montalegre game long ago, can be stopped today.

An away draw last time out for Bragança, facing Cerveira in a game that ended 2-2. Ahead of that match, Bragança lost 0-3 at home to União Madeira.

The Bragança fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Bragança have conceded 13 from these games.
