Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Braga will be looking to put an end to their four-game winless run when they take on Moreirense in the Primeira Liga round 33. Braga missed out on a place in the Champions League, and, as a result, they head into Friday’s football game with the lack of motivation. Both Moura and Medeiros are likely to miss the game with injuries, while all Gaitan, Novais, and Sporar are pushing for a start.
Moreirense, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Portimonense. Vasco Seabra’s troops aim to climb to the Europa Conference League berth, but beating Braga on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Estadio Municipal de Braga and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Amador, Lacerda, and Pedro are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
