Interesting game is what awaits us this Saturday at the Municipal Stadium of Braga, when the leader of the Primeira League of Portugal as Sporting de Braga receives the visit of one of the protagonists of Portuguese football as Rio Ave, in game that corresponds to day 7 in Portugal.
Sporting Braga:
Those led by Abel Ferreira are doing a good job in this season’s start, so Sporting Braga comes from beating 0-3 on their visit to Belenenses and in this way they added a streak of five consecutive victories (one of them by the Taca da Lig against Tondela) and also remains unbeaten in its nine official games of the current season.
With these results the Archbishops are placed in the first place of the Primeira League of Portugal with 16 points, taking an advantage of one, two and three points to FC Oporto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, and to a large extent this is due to one of its highest points as is the defense block, since Sporting Braga has only received two goals in the last five games of the Primeira Liga and now at home where it has won four of its five official games of the season, tying the rest, They hope to continue along this line of good results to continue at the top of the ranking.
Rio Ave:
On the other hand, the ones directed by José Gomes are also one of the leading teams of the current season in Portuguese football, so the Vilacondenses come from winning their last three games by the Primeira Liga de Portugal after beating Portimonense 2-1, Santa Clara 1-3 and now last 2-1 against Boavista, these results have led to Rio Ave to be placed in fifth place with 13 points and are just three points that separate him from the leader that is just Sporting Braga, so this Saturday they go out to get a new victory against a Braga who has won in three of the last four direct confrontations and against whom they have only lost in one of their last three visits to the Municipal de Braga.
