Command Analysis

Braga

Current form

Braga is already habitually ranked fourth in the Portuguese championship, but still has a chance to compete for the third place, which is currently occupied by Porto. The hosts are only three points behind the bronze, so you need to win in the last round and wait for the competitor to misfire. In the last round, Carlos Carvalhal's team made their task much more difficult by losing on the road to Casa Pia (1:2) from the middle of the table. Before that, Famalikan (1:1) and Santa Clara (1:1) failed to beat. Braga won its last victory almost a month ago, over Estoril (2-0).
