Match Time & Date:

03:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Benfica
All eyes will be on Estadio Municipal de Braga when Braga and Benfica face each other in the Primeira Liga derby. Braga dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Famalicao, and, no doubt, they are determined to return to winning ways in the Portuguese top flight. The likes of Carmo, Fonte, and Moura have been struggling with injuries of late, meaning that the trio is unlikely to feature against Benfica.
The Eagles, on the other hand, have been producing fine displays in the Primeira Liga ever since they suffered elimination in the Europa League knockout stages. Benfica are on a four-game winning run ahead of the trip to Braga, and we are positive that they will find the net in Sunday’s clash. Given Braga’s attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Andre Almeida is Benfica’s long-term absentee.
