Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Santa Clara, Braga will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take n Casa Pia in the Primeira Liga round 16. Braga are eager to stay in top four in the standings and they are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Paulo Oliveira is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with Robson Bambu being ready to step up.
Casa Pia, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, beating both Estoril and Arouca in the last two league matches. The visitors aim to keep on climbing the standings, but seeing that Braga are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to place our bets on Carlos Carvalhal’s troops. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the last game of the year.
