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

20:45
Prediction: 1-3
Braga
Monday’s football game at Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas pits together Moreirense and Braga, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. Moreirense aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Arouca and a win over Braga could see them climb to the top half of the table. The good news for the hosts is that defender Godfried Frimpong is back from suspension.
The Reds, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Portuguese top flight. Braga aim to move closer to the Champions League berth and given Moreirense’s seven-game winless run in all competitions, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. Earlier this season, Braga defeated Moreirense 3-1 at Estadio Municipal and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Carlos Carvalhal should have a full squad to choose from for Monday’s game.
