Sporting Braga will host Casa Pia at the Estadio Municipal de Braga on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign. The home side have been solid in their domestic assignments of late and will be targeting a strong finish to the year as they sit fourth in the league table with 28 points from 15 matches.
They beat Santa Clara 2-0 in their last match, with Bruma scoring a second-half brace to secure maximum points for the Archbishops and extend their unbeaten streak against Os Açorianos to eight games.
Casa Pia endured a slow start to their season but have hit their stride in recent games as they target back-to-back top-half league finishes. They picked up a clinical 3-1 win over Arouca last weekend, with Jeremy Livolant and Leonardo Lelo handing Os Gansos a two-goal lead heading into the break before Samuel Obeng came off the bench to wrap up the points with his maiden effort for the club.
