SC Braga, Recent FormArtur Jorge will have some work to do building up his players after their 5-0 away thrashing at the hands of Sporting CP. During that encounter they had 53% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 14 shots on goal.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 9 of their 10 home games this season.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Estádio Municipal de Braga, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
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.
Farense, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Farense and Famalicão in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target. Famalicão had 17 shots on goal with 4 on target.
When it comes to attacking power José Mota will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Farense recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Bruno Duarte has scored in each of Farense's last league game.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-1 win for Farense.
It's been a very long time since Farense came to Estádio Municipal de Braga in the league and scored a goal, having left goalless in their last 4 visits. SC Braga will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 5 encounters with Farense.
In the league, SC Braga has an strong track record when they play host to Farense, notchng up a win in their last 4 home games.
With only Armindo Bruma (Meniscus) and Adrián Marín (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Artur Jorge will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Farense manager José Mota ahead of this clash, with Zé Luís (Thigh) missing out, which gives Mota a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
