Prediction: 0-1
Braga
Farense and Braga square off against each other at Estadio de Sao Luis in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. Os Leoes de Faro are eyeing their first win of the year, but they will have a mountain to climb against Braga. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, but duo Costa – Menino is in line for a recall after getting their names on the scoresheet in a 2-2 draw with Estoril.
The Reds, on the other hand, did well to beat Porto in the Primeira Liga derby thanks to Ricardo Horta’s goal and given Farense’s dreadful winless run in the national championship, away triumph should definitely be considered. It has to be noted, though, that Braga second-choice goalkeeper misses out through suspension following his sending-off at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (Ricardo Horta):
Ricardo Horta is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Sporting Braga in Primeira Liga. Born in Sobreda, Portugal, on September 15, 1994, Ricardo Horta spent his youth career at Ginasio Corroios, Benfica, and Vitoria Setubal.
The 173-cm-tall winger continued playing for Setubal at the senior level, but he moved to Malaga in the summer of 2014, signing a five-year deal with the La Liga outfit. Ricardo Horta scored only one goal in 48 appearances for los Boquerones in the Spanish top flight before signing a loan deal with Braga. In July 2017, he signed a permanent contract with the Minhotos.
Ricardo Horta made his Primeira Liga debut against Rio Ave back in April 2013, during his spell with Vitoria Setubal. His primary position is left winger, but he is capable of producing good performances as a right winger as well. He made his Portugal debut in a 1-0 loss to Albania in the Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Established on April 1, 1910, S.C. Farense is a Portuguese club that plays in Primeira Liga. Farense returned to Primeira liga in 2020, with the team securing promotion to the Portuguese elite division following an 18-year absence.
