Famalicao vs Braga Prediction & Betting tips
Portuguese football is upside down in the 2020/21 season. For the first time in what feels like an eternity, there is a high probability that there will be another master again. Behind it, however, the fight is extremely exciting and the second CL starting position degenerates into a three-way fight. Surprisingly, the team from Braga currently has the best chances for the runner-up championship. This weekend there will be a “David versus Goliath” duel between Famalicao and Braga.
Famalicao:
As a promoted team, head coach Joao Pedro Sousa’s team was never worse than seventh in 2019/20. In the final bill, the blatant underdog finally took an excellent sixth place and only missed the sensational qualification for the European competitions by a very thin margin. As a team with many no-names, mostly only loan players, Famalicao was convincing on the whole line.
Due to the return of the many loan players and departures like those of Pedro Goncalves (the midfielder is the top scorer at Sporting Lisbon with 15 goals), the 2020/21 team can no longer be compared with the team from the previous year. A look at the current squad shows that with the exception of Riccielli, Patrick William, Gustavo Assuncao and Anderson Silva all players have been newly signed or have been loaned out.
Braga :
The Sporting Lisbon championship becomes more likely with each game. The green lions are currently dominating the league at will. But in 2020/21 there could not only be a new champion, it could actually be that neither Benfica Lisbon nor FC Porto reach a top two place. The two-time Portuguese cup winner is currently in excellent shape and has overtaken the two well-known competitors after losing points.
Although the Portuguese suffered two defeats in the first knockout round of the UEFA Europa League against AS Roma (total score 1: 5), one success follows the next in the domestic league. In the last eight games, head coach Carlos Carvalhal’s team collected no less than 22 of a possible 24 points. Only in the top game against FC Porto did Braga have to be content with a 2-2 draw. However, this was a point won after Braga scored the equalizer in minutes 87 and 94.
