Vizela and Sporting Braga will battle for three points in a Primeira Liga matchday 24 fixture on Saturday.

Braga, meanwhile, dispatched Rio Ave with a routine 2-0 home win. Bruma broke the deadlock in the 36th minute, while Simon Banza's doubled the lead in the 79th minute, seven minutes after coming on.

Vizela vs Braga Prediction
Braga's recent form has not been up to par with their standards across the season, with Artur Jorge's side having lost three of their last five games in all competitions. This poor run has seen them knocked out of continental football, while their slim title hopes have also taken a severe blow.
Nevertheless, they still have a Taca de Portugal semifinal to look forward to as they aim to consolidate their spot in the top three.
Vizela, for their part, got back to winning ways following a four-game winless run and will fancy their chances of getting the job done against Braga. However, we are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals to be scored at both ends.
