Prediction: 3-1
Portimonense
Braga will look to move closer to the Champions League berth when they take on Portimonense on Saturday evening. The Reds are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but O Portimao should not be underestimated. Andre Horta is pushing for a start after scoring a brace as a substitute in a 3-3 draw with Gil Vicente, while midfielder Sikou Niakate misses out through suspension. Defender Victor Gomez is a major doubt.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to stay in top ten in the Primeira Liga standings, but they will have a big fish to fry in Saturday’s clash. In each of their last eight meetings at Estadio Municipal de Braga Ricardo Horta and Co. emerged triumphant, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. Last time out Braga rolled over Portimonense 4-1 at the venue.
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.

Based in Portimao, Portimonense is a Portuguese football club that play home games at Estadio Municipal in Algarve. The capacity of the stadium that was opened in 1937 is 9,544. Portimonense welcome their rivals in black and white shirts and black shirts, whilst yellow is dominant colour of their away kit.
The black and whites finished the 1984/1985 Primeira Liga campaign in 5th position in the standings and, as a result, booked their place in the UEFA Cup. Portimonense did well to Partizan 1-0 on their debut in the European competition, but they suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to the famous Serbian club in the reverse fixture at Yugoslav National Army Stadium.
Fellow Algavre clubs Farense and Olhanense are considered the club’s main rivals. Jackson Martinez is one of the most notable footballers who played for the club.
