Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Braga will try to extend their excellent winning run to six games when they take on Vizela in the Primeira Liga round 7. Braga look unstoppable at the moment, and it is no wonder the reputable bookies see them as hot favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Since there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, head coach Artur Jorge is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Rio Ave (3-2).
Vizela, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Benfica and Estoril in the previous two league fixtures. Alvaro Pacheco’s men are on a five-game winless run in the national championship, and given Braga’s splendid form, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. To make things even worse for the visiting team, midfielder Tomas Costa Silva is banned for the match following his sending off in a 1-0 loss to Estoril.
