Overall, Braga hold a more favourable record in this fixture, but recent encounters have been much less encouraging for the hosts. Gil Vicente won both meetings between the sides last season, including a 1-0 victory in Braga and a 2-1 home success in February.
Braga team overview
Braga have endured an inconsistent league campaign, with just three victories from their opening seven matches. Aside from their domestic league commitments, Braga also featured in midweek in their opening fixture of this season’s UEFA Europa League. However, Carlos Vicens’ men were unable to put up much of a fight, suffering a 3-0 defeat to FC Copenhagen.
In the league, they have also struggled, failing to win their last two league matches. After a goalless draw at Santa Clara, Braga suffered a 3-1 home defeat against Sporting CP a week ago. They did initially lead against Sporting, but conceded three second-half goals.
Defender Sikou Niakaté remains the principal injury concern after suffering an Achilles tendon rupture. He has not played in the league this season.

Gil Vicente team overview
Gil Vicente have also collected 11 points from seven league games but have had a much more positive last couple of weeks. Luis Pinto’s men successfully progressed to the next round of the Taça de Portugal following their extra-time victory over União de Santarém, extending their unbeaten run to three matches, including their Liga Portugal fixtures.
League matters considered, Gil Vicente ended a three-match winless league run by beating Moreirense 1-0 away last weekend. That followed defeats against Benfica and Académico Viseu and draws with Famalicão and Marítimo.
Mohamed Bamba and Arthur Tchaptchet are doubts, while Zé Carlos has also been listed among the potential absentees.

Prediction
Braga could be considered slight favourites at home based on their league pedigree, despite their recent struggles. However, given their recent head-to-head record against Gil Vicente and the visitors’ three-match unbeaten run, this could nevertheless be a closely contested affair. Gil Vicente are more than capable of avoiding defeat.
Prediction: Gil Vicente Asian Handicap (+1).
Three reasons we expect Gil Vicente Asian Handicap (+1)
- Gil Vicente are unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions.
- Their only defeat this season came away at Benfica.
- Gil Vicente have beaten Braga in their last two league meetings, while Braga have failed to win either of their last two Liga Portugal fixtures.
