Only a few games have been played in the 2. Division: Group A so far, with Sporting Braga II placed 1st and Merelinense sitting in the 4th position.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Taça De Portugal.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Sporting Braga II form and stats
Perfect 2. Division: Group A season at home so far for Sporting Braga II, who have the most scored goals (19) in 2. Division: Group A, 3 wins from 3 appearances.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Vianense and winning 4-0.
The manager V. Faisca Teixeira will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Pedras Salgadas in only four days.
Braga always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Cidade Desportiva SC Braga with 11 goals in 3 league games. From these home matches, Braga have conceded only 2 goals.
Merelinense form and stats
Things could have gone better for Merelinense in their 2. Division: Group A away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

After this away game Merelinense return home for a 2. Division: Group A game against Vidago. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Merelinense when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Merelinense are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
