Sporting Braga will host AVS at the Estádio Municipal de Braga on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign. The hosts will be confident to continue their impressive recent form and remain in the top three on the league table.
Braga fought back to earn a point late in their 1-1 draw against Sporting last week to move up to third place, nine points from Champions League qualification and 11 points from the top of the table with six games to go. The hosts have won seven and drawn two of their last 10 league outings and will be keen to finish out the season in such solid form.
AVS were blown away by Andre Lacximicant’s hat-trick in their 3-0 loss to Estoril Praia last weekend, making it four defeats in their last four games. The visitors, who are only three points deep in the relegation zone, have had a disappointing debut season in the top flight but will continue to fight to avoid the drop in the final weeks of the season.

Sporting Braga vs AVS Prediction
The Archbishops are strong favorites going into the weekend and have little to worry about against a side with only one away league win all season. The hosts will only need to avoid complacency to get all three points.
AVS will be glad to get a draw against a much better team in much better form but will have to pose slightly more of an attacking threat to achieve this.
We expect Braga to secure the win.
