Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Estoril
Match Time & Date:

21:30
Prediction: 1-2
Braga
Braga will try to bounce back from an upsetting 3-0 loss to Arouca when they face Estoril at Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota on Saturday evening. The Reds are determined to book their spot in the Champions League and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at Os Canarinhos. Fit-again star Ricardo Horta should be recalled to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Estoril, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Portimonense and Porto, while sharing the spoilt with Casa Pia, but seeing that aforementioned forward Ricardo Horta is back for Braga, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of grabbing something from the match. Both Heriberto Tavares and Bernardo Vital return from suspension for the home side.
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.
Highlighted Team (Braga):
Braga are a Portuguese club that have always been in the shadow of Primeira Liga giants Porto, Benfica and Sporting. Os Minhotos were founded on 19 January, 1921 and they originally played in green and white kits. After the World War II they changed their kits to red and they have been wearing red shirts and white shorts ever since.
Braga play their home games at Estadio Municipal de Braga, the stadium that was opened in December, 2003. Os Minhotos have yet to win the Primeira Liga title, but they finished the 2009/2010 campaign in second position in the standings, just five points behind champions Benfica.
In 2011 Braga participated in the Europa League final, but fellow Portuguese outfit Porto proved to be a big catch for Os Minhotos. Anyhow, that is regarded as the club’s biggest success. Vitoria de Guimaraes are considered Braga’s bitter rivals and the two teams face each other in the Minho derby.
