Braga vs Casa Pia Prediction: Can Braga keep up with Benfica?

Braga was knocked out of Europa League and now the team will try to make it up to the fans in the match against Casa Pia. The visitor although is a newcomer to this league is playing amazing and also is in the top half of the table. Braga must win if the team wants to remain in race for the title as he is already 6 points behind the leader Benfica. On the other hand, Casa Pia after the win in the last round can keep on dreaming to finish on place that leads to some European competition.

Braga is in 3rd place on the table with 25 points, 8 wins, a draw and 2 defeats. Porto and Benfica are ahead and if win, Braga can be back on 2nd position. However, the crisis that this team was some time ago seems to be overcome now, and although he is knocked out of Europa League, this team has the potential to fight for the title until the end and I believe that in this match we will see it.

Casa Pia doesn’t even dream of such a season in the Priemira Liga after he was promoted last season. Currently in 5th position with 20 points, 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats we can say that this team successfully reached his main goal this season to avoid relegation. Casa Pia also plays surpisingly well as visitor and in 5 matches has 3 wins, a draw and a defeat.

This little derby of 12th round in Primeira Liga will be a tight clash between two very quality teams that are in good form. Braga is more experienced team and certainly knows what it takes to remain on the top and winning here is something he must do. On the other hand, Casa Pia is very dangerous team especially because he is playing without pressure, he is high on the table and far away from relegation zone.
