This season, Portuguese football's big three, Sporting, Porto, and Benfica, are once again vying for the league title.

Meanwhile, a handful of teams are battling for fourth place and a spot in European competitions. Among them is Braga, currently sitting fifth in the standings with 23 points. They’ve hit their stride in recent weeks, putting together some key wins. After a dominant 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim in the Europa League, they followed up with a narrow away win against AVS in the domestic league. The game’s hero was young Spanish international Gabri Martinez, who broke through the opposition’s solid defense with a crucial goal in the 69th minute.

Estoril, on the other hand, has 13 points, placing them 11th in the table. They come into this game with a boost of confidence after a 2-1 home win over Famalicão. Now, they’ll head into this away match hoping to spring another surprise.

Braga vs Estoril pick:BRAGA TO COVER AH -1.5

Braga has been managing the challenge of competing on two fronts quite well so far. In the Europa League, they sit mid-table after five rounds, while in the domestic league, their losses have mostly come against higher-profile teams. They’ve won their last three matches across all competitions without conceding a goal, and it’s reasonable to expect that they’ll aim to extend this strong run against Estoril - one of the league’s weakest teams when it comes to away performances.
