Moreirense entertain Braga at the Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas in the Primeira Liga on Saturday (September 9).
The hosts recorded their first win of the season last week, winning 2-1 at Chaves. Joao Pedro Gomes Camacho scored the winner in the 84th minute after Alan's third-minute opener was cancelled out by Bruno Langa in the 72nd minute.
Braga, meanwhile, are unbeaten in two games since a defeat in their campaign opener. They saw their four-game winning run across competitions come to an end last week following a 1-1 draw to Sporting on Sunday.

Moreirense vs Braga Prediction
Moreirense are unbeaten in two league outings and have bounced back from back-to-back defeats in their first two games of the season. Nonetheless, they have suffered seven straight defeats to Braga.
Braga, meanwhile, are unbeaten in two league outings. They will be without the in-form winger Ricardo Horta, who's on international duty with the Portugal national team for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers.
With the two teams playing during the international break, they might not have a full-strength squad. Considering the same, expect a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Moreirense 1-1 Braga
