Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Braga will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Porto and Belenenses when they face Arouca on Matchday 33. Braga clinched fourth position in the standings, but they surely want to give fans yet another reason for celebration in the season finale. Both Abel Ruiz and Lucas Mineiro are pushing for a start, whilst both Roger Fernandes and Nuno Sequeira should miss out with injuries.
Arouca, on the other hand, aim to escape the danger zone. The visitors proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Portimonense, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Sunday’s clash. Taking everything into account, we believe that both teams should be happy with one point from the match. Kouassi Eboue is out for the rest of the season, while both Wellington Nem and Pedro Moreira are out of contention with injuries.
