Braga vs Estoril Prediction
Braga's title challenge has frittered away in recent weeks, as they find themselves 12 points behind runaway leaders Benfica.
However, Artur Jorge's side will be keen to end the season on a high and are on a four-game unbeaten run. Meanwhile, Estoril's victory last weekend boosted their quest to avoid the drop, but their away record has been patchy, having lost their last seven games.
Braga are the favourites and should claim a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.
