Braga vs Famalicao Prediction and Betting Tips | August 11th 2023

Braga will kickstart their 2023-24 Primeira Liga campaign with a home game against Famalicao at the Estádio Municipal de Braga on Friday.

Both teams secured top-10 finishes in the league last season, with the hosts finishing third with 78 points and the visitors finishing eighth with 44 points to their name.

The hosts played their first competitive match of the season on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round at home against Backa Topola. Goals from Pizzi, Bruma, and Álvaro Djaló helped them record a comfortable 3-0 win.

The visitors played in the first round of the Taca da Liga last month. They came from behind twice but Duarte Valente scored the winning penalty in the 11th minute of injury time to help Belenenses record a 3-2 win.

Os Arcebispos have been undefeated in the 2023-24 campaign thus far and will look to continue their fine form in this match. They have suffered just one defeat in their last eight meetings against the visitors, though four games in that period have ended in draws.

Famalicenses suffered defeat in their only competitive game of the season last month and kept clean sheets in two friendlies thus far. As they have played just three games in the pre-season thus far, they might be a bit unprepared for this match.

Considering the hosts' unbeaten record at Friday's venue, we expect them to record a comfortable win.
