Braga are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Midtjylland. Heartbreak for Braga in their last match as Midtjylland's Evander scored the winning goal deep into overtime. The forward Iuri Medeiros was declared "man of the match" for Braga with the rating of 7.6/10. Medeiros served one assist, hit five key passes and had 27 successful passes (of 31 total).

Ahead of that match, Braga won a home game hosting Santa Clara (6-0).

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Braga home games with this odds we find 17 games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 13 wins, three draws and one defeat. Looking at the victories, seven matches were won by at least two goals.

Vizela form and stats

0 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Vizela playing as the away team in the Primeira Liga this season. It's three draws from Vizela's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Vizela had fun at their own home (Estádio Municipal de Braga) last time out, beating Estrela Amadora 2-0. A. Méndez and Kiko Bondoso scored.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Estoril.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vizela as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. The Vizela manager Á. Teixeira Pacheco has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
