Braga have accumulated 57 points from 28 games and are in third place in the league standings. They have maintained a one point cushion over fourth-placed FC Porto and can not afford to drop points.
Os Arcebispos come into this match brimming with confidence. Despite failing to secure maximum points, a point in a 1-1 away draw against Sporting CP was welcomed with both hands.
So far, they have been unbeaten in their last four league games, recording three wins and one draw. After going four games without a win at the Estádio Municipal de Braga, they have established themselves as a difficult team to beat lately. They have won five consecutive matches and kept the back door shut on four occasions.

AVS suffered a convincing 3-0 home defeat against Estoril Praia, extending their losing streak in the league to four games. During this stretch, they conceded ten goals, highlighting their struggles when it comes to the defensive department.
Their performance on the road has left much to be desired. In fact, they boast the second-worst away record in the league with 9 points accumulated. They have scored the fourth fewest goals casting doubts about their chances of getting on the scoreboard in this one.

Expert Betting Tips
Our main prediction for the match: Half-time Result - Braga @ 1.90 with Bet365.
I don't see AVS Futebol SAD making life difficult for Braga in this one other than suffering a convincing defeat. This is why I am backing Braga to secure an early lead before the halftime whistle. The hosts have won the first half in each of their last five home league games, and I expect them to continue this trend by winning here.
2nd prediction: Both Teams To Score - No @ 1.71 with Betway.
AVS Futebol SAD has scored only ten goals when playing away in their last 14 matches. Such a display makes me believe they will struggle to get on the scoreboard or let alone trouble the opposing goal keeper.
3rd prediction: Total - Over 2.5 @ 1.78 with 1xbet.
Forget about AVS Futebol SAD getting on the scoreboard and expect an offensive masterclass from Braga. I see them scoring more than two goals here. They boast the fourth-best offensive record in the league this season, scoring 45 goals in 28 games.
