Estrela Amadora will host Sporting Braga at the Estadio Jose Gomes on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign. The home side have had their struggles in the league this season but continue their fight to avoid the drop as they sit 14th in the table with 16 points from 17 matches.
They were beaten 4-2 on home turf by Estoril Praia in their last match, finding themselves three goals down at the break before Andre Luiz and Rodrigo Pinho reduced the deficit in the second half.
Sporting Braga have been largely solid in their league assignments this season and are on course for continental football. They picked up a hard-fought 2-1 away win over Benfica in their last league outing, with Fran Navarro and Robson Bambu getting on the scoresheet in the first half to send the Archbishops on the way to their first win at the Estadio da Luz since 2020.
