Match announcement
Braga
Current form
Before the start of the season, Braga was considered a contender for bronze, but so far this status has not been justified. With 23 points, Carlos Carvalhal team is only in fifth place in the table and is five points behind third-placed Benfica, while the Eagles also have a game in hand - such a handicap is already critical. In the last round, Braga beat ABC 1:0, thus achieving their third victory in the last four matches of the championship.

Oliveira and Zalazar are injured.

Current form
Estoril have had a very poor first round of the championship and are only in 11th place after 12 rounds. Ayan Catro team has 13 points and is only four points clear of the relegation playoffs - a handicap that cannot be called significant at the moment. The situation was even more difficult not long ago, but thanks to a 2:1 victory over Famalicao and a goalless draw against ABC, the Canaries managed to move up the table a little.

Today, Braga has the opportunity to bypass Santa Clara in the table and return to the Eurocup zone, which is what they will clearly strive for. Despite the lack of previous stability, today it makes sense to count on the aggressive, high-quality game of the Gunners in attack - Estoril is extremely vulnerable in defense away from home. However, the Canaries will probably also take risks, they manage to score regularly against Braga, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.

Bet on the outcome
Braga is seriously behind the third line and in such a difficult situation has no right to make a mistake in home matches against opponents of Estoril level. It is obvious that the Gunners are the favorites and will play only to win - it is unlikely that the Canaries will be able to put up a decent fight, the hosts have a serious advantage in class and Estoril has not won away this season.
