Braga vs Gil Vicente Prediction
Braga once again find themselves playing catch-up with the big three but have Vitoria Guimaraes hot on their heels. Artur Jorge's side currenty hold the final European qualification spot in the table but are just three points above the team below them in the standings.
Gil Vicente have drawn their last three games on the bounce and have not found the back of the net in four of their last six league games. They enter this game as the underdogs but could try to limit the chances afforded to their hosts.
Braga tend to do well in home games where they are the favorites and they are unbeaten in their last five home league matches (three wins). The Archbishops still have a shot at making the top three and need a win here to keep pace with third-placed Porto. We are backing the hosts to claim a routine win and clean sheet.
