Sporting Braga will host Estrela Amadora at the Estadio Municipal de Braga on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Primeira Liga campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and are well on course to secure a continental playoff spot. They thrashed Boavista 4-0 in their last match, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including team top scorer Simon Banza who scored a brace.
Sporting Braga sit fourth in the league table with 46 points from 23 matches. They are three points behind third-placed Porto and could draw level with a win on Sunday.
Estrela Amadora, meanwhile, have had their struggles in the Portuguese top flight this season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They played out a 1-1 draw against Chaves in their last match falling behind after just seven minutes before Ronaldo Tavares headed home the leveler late in the first half to end a 10-game goal drought.
The visitors sit 15th in the Primeira Liga standings with just 22 points picked up so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally here.
