Sporting Braga hosts Portimonense in round 24 of Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Friday, March 6th at Estádio Municipal de Braga (Braga)
Sporting Braga continues the fierce struggle with its Lisbon teammates for an honorable 3rd place in the tournament standings, and I think the Arsenalists are the main contenders for bronze awards at the end of the season. They gained just a crazy move in the second half of the championship, having won eight victories in the last nine rounds. At the same time, Braga beat all three main whales of the Portuguese Primera in the face of leading Benfica (1-0, away), Porto (2:1, also on a foreign field) + the aforementioned capital Sporting (1:0). I also want to note the relatively recent defeat of the not-so-weak Belenenses with a semi-handball score (7:1), and it is much higher in the standings than the same Portimonense (by 9 points).

As for the visitors, they are almost hopelessly hanging over the precipice of the relegation zone (6 points behind the saving 16th place), absolutely deservedly being one of the main outsiders of the championship. Yes, Portimonense tries to resist everyone and even the grandees, rarely losing with a significant gap. Still, the men of Pedro Silva (an interim coach) lack skills and stability, and they have already lost in four away meetings in a row, including the defeats to last Aves (0: 3) and 13th Belenenses, which was defeated by Braga with a 1:7 score.
In my opinion, Braga, which is sweeping everybody from its path, should not experience any special problems in a match with distressed Portimonense. And finally, I note that the annoying Archbishops are also lucky. For example, they managed to squeeze Maritimo (2:1) in the 99th minute of the previous match.
Prediction for the match: Braga to win
