Estoril vs Braga

Estoril won over Academica last weekend away from home with a narrow 1:0 result. The victory was formed in 42nd minute with a suspicious goal from Balboa, in a game the hosts showed a bit more, but Estoril was much more confident and efficient in the final effort.

The team continued good form in league, as they have no defeat in last seven matches, but the team has too many draws on the account. Since 16th February, they have no victory at home, since they defeated Gil Vicente 2:0. Currently, they are fifth at the table with 30 points earned, with four points more than Braga, which makes this game very important for their Europa League hunt. Striker Seba (17/4) returns to the starting lineup after serving his suspension. Defenders Thiago Gomes (4/0) and Joao Pedro (1/0) remain injured, same as offensive Bruno Lopes (11/1).

Braga, on the other side, is coming from a League Cup defeat away to Rio Ave 2:1, but could also feel very disappointed with the arbitration at the match. They stood with a player less since 38th minute, but fought for a long time, found behind in the scoreline in 41st minute, manage to tie the score, but still conceded the second goal in 69th minute.

On the other hand, they have only one defeat in league competition in last six matches, against Belenenses and has generally improved a lot in recent two months. As said, Braga is four points below the Estoril, last placed team at European places and this game seems to be critical for them. Despite a very ugly beginning, they are still showing that they deserve a place in the top five. Central defender Aderlan Santos (16/3) is out of the game being suspended, as they welcome back defender Saso (4/0). Permanently injured is striker Eder (9/1), while Colombian striker Moreno is ready for the debut.

Estoril have seen over 2.5 goals in their last four matches against Braga.

Braga have won five of their last six matches against Estoril.

Braga seems to be in a better position in front of this game and won’t be a surprise if they get all three points. Goals are expected from both sides, as Braga’s defensive lineup is very vulnerable, especially now as they miss Santos.
