Famalicao and Braga meet in their last game of the season on Sunday

Famalicao welcome Braga to the Municipal Stadium Famalicão in the final game of the 2021-22 Portuguese Primeira Liga campaign on Sunday.

A win might help the hosts secure a finish in the upper half of the table as the four teams above them in the standings have 38 points and have played their final game of the season already. Famalicao have 36 points and might be able to make a huge jump in the table if they can earn the three points here.

Braga have secured a fourth-placed finish this term and the outcome of the game won't have an impact on the same. They have recorded three 1-0 wins in a row and will be hoping to sign off with a win here.


Famalicao vs Braga Head-to-Head

The two northern Portuguese rivals have met 13 times since 1990. Braga lead 5-3 in wins while the remaining five games have ended in draws. Four of the last five games in this fixture have ended in draws.

Surprisingly, Os Arcebispos are without a win in their travels to Vila Nova de Famalicão and will be looking to break that streak here. They last met at the Estádio Municipal de Braga in league action in January. The game ended in a 2-2 draw.
