Boavista, Recent FormThe Boavista players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Gil Vicente recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. During that encounter they had 52% possession and had 17 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 15 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Armando 'Petit' Teixeira will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI and recording 3 wins in that same period.
SC Braga, Recent FormSC Braga have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 5-3 home win against Santa Clara in their previous league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target. Santa Clara had 15 shots on goal with 9 on target.
With 15 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Artur Jorge will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 6 goals in the same period. This season they have scored in 14 of their 16 away games and kept 16 clean sheets in 32 games overall.
They have had an excellent run of form recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games. It's been a good season so far with them having won 24 of their 32 league games.
Ricardo Horta has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Boavista.
