Time was not on Famalicao's side to make a comeback against FC Porto last time out. Pedro Bondo's effort in the 82nd minute only served as a glimmer of hope in a 2-1 defeat at Estadio do Dragão. This result halted a three-match winning streak.
Famalicenses may have dropped crucial points in that match, but that shouldn't cause panic as they still occupy seventh place in the Primeira Liga standings and are very much in the race for a top-five finish.
Hugo Oliveira's men will want to draw inspiration from their impressive home league form to boost their hopes of a positive result in this one. The Estadio Municipal de Famalicao has been good to them in recent weeks as they have won four straight with three shutouts maintained during this period. This is a significant improvement from a nine-match winless run.
Famalicao: Team News
Rodrigo Pinheiro is back from suspension after serving his one-match ban. He is likely to retain his place as a right back and replace Lucas Calegari.
Famalicao have no fresh injury news at the moment. However, they will be without Oscar Aranda, who has been suspended because of accumulating too many yellow cards.
Gil Dias has made 26 appearances for the club. The 28-year-old has scored five goals and provided two assists. He will be Aranda's replacement this Friday.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Carevic; Francisco, Mihaj, Haas, Pinheiro; Looi, Topic; Dias, Sa, Sorriso; Sejk
⛔️ Out: Oscar Aranda (suspended)
👤 Head coach: Hugo Oliveira

Braga failed to get the job done in the reverse fixture in December when they had to come from two goals down to draw 3-3 with Famalicao at home. This time, they will be anticipating a different outcome given their impressive showing in the Primeira Liga.
Os Arcebispos are unbeaten in six league fixtures, recording five wins and one draw. Their most recent league game was a comfortable 2-0 away win to Estoril Praia, thanks to Ismael Gharbi's brace, extending their winning streak to two games.
Carlos Carvalhal's men have been promising on the road as they have avoided defeat in three league games (W2, D1). This comes after going two games without a win.
Braga: Team News
Fran Navarro remains in the injury room and is listed as questionable for this one. The 27-year-old has missed four games for Braga through a muscle injury and is listed as doubtful.
Patrao led the attack against Estoril Praia last time out. However, the 18-year-old will not be in the starting lineup this Friday. This means Amine El Ouazzani will take his place up front and lead the attack in what is believed will be a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Jonatas Noro remains inactive for the club and won't take part.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Hornicek; Chissumba, Niakate Oliveira, Gomez; Moutinho, Racic; Horta, Zalazar Martinez, Gharbi; Ouazzani
⛔️ Out: Jonatas Noro (inactive), Frans Navarro (muscle injury)
👤 Head coach: Carlos Carvalhal

Famalicao vs Braga match prediction 25 April 2025
Famalicao has been a threat when playing at home this season, and it's likely they will give the visitors a hard time. The hosts are unbeaten in their last six games and are currently on a four-match winning streak.
This should come as no surprise as to why the bookmakers have overpriced Braga in the full-time market. The visitors have been in better form and can secure a narrow win here. However, I'm distancing myself from the full-time market and going for the goals. Both sides have been a threat in the final third, and I see this match producing an easy over 2.5 goals. This has been a trend in each of their last eight encounters.
Our match prediction: Goals - Over 2.5 for a coefficient of 2.07 in the Bet365 bookmaker.
Our betting tip on the match: Both Teams To Score - Yes for a coefficient of 1.85 in the Betway bookmaker.
Our final betting tip on the match: W2 for a coefficient of 2.19 in the 1xbet bookmaker.
