Famalicão, Recent FormFamalicão will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Casa Pia. During that encounter they had 45% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 1 of their 8 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager João Pedro Sousa will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
SC Braga, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Porto will have left the SC Braga squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Porto, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Artur Jorge will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 15 of their 17 games this season.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Simon Banza will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 7 goals in the last 6 league outings for SC Braga.
It was one to forget for SC Braga last time they met Famalicão in the league, falling to a 1-2 defeat.
Goals should be on the cards for Os Arcebispos in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Famalicão in their last 7 meetings together. SC Braga have a good attacking record away to Famalicenses in the league, having scored a total of 7 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.33 goals per game.
SC Braga man Ricardo Horta will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against Famalicão, having bagged 2 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho.
With no real injury worries, Famalicão manager João Pedro Sousa will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
SC Braga manager Artur Jorge has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
