Chaves vs Braga Prediction
Braga's title charge has petered out in recent weeks and they currently find themselves 12 points behind league leaders Benfica. However, Artur Jorge's side still have a lot to be proud of, they have also made it to the semifinal of the Taca de Portugal.
Chaves, for their part, have punched above their weight since their return to the top flight and are relatively comfortable in mid-table. The Flavienses were on a positive run of form before the international break and won two matches on the bounce. They will be keen to keep this form going when they return to league action.
Braga do not have continental football to worry about following their elimination from the UEFA Europa League and will channel all their focus into the domestic scene. We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals to be scored at both ends.
