Sporting Braga vs Farense Prediction and Betting Tips | October 27th 2024

Sporting Braga will host Farense at the Estadio Municipal de Braga on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign. The home side have endured a difficult run of results in recent games and will be targeting a winning return to league action this weekend as they sit fifth in the table with 14 points from eight games.

They were beaten 2-1 by Porto in their last league outing and then returned to winning ways after the international break with a narrow 2-1 win over third-tier Dezembro in the domestic cup. However, they suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Europa League last time out and will be desperate to put out a response this weekend.

Meanwhile, Farense endured a difficult start to their season, prompting the dismissal of head coach Jose Mota. The visitors have been given a new lease of life under new boss Toze Marreco, beating Estoril Praia 1-0 in their last league outing before picking up a 4-2 win over Sanjoanense in the Taca de Portugal last weekend.

Leões de Faro remain rock-bottom in the league table with four points from eight matches but will be looking to build on their new-found form this Sunday.

Braga have lost three of their last four games after losing just one of their previous 14 games. However, they have lost just twice on home turf all season and will be looking forward to the weekend clash.

Farense are on a run of back-to-back victories after going winless in their nine competitive outings prior. They have, however, won just one away league game since the start of February and could see defeat here.
