Braga has shown some inconsistency in their recent performances, but they’ve managed to limit their losses to just one in the last five matches.

Defensively, however, they’ve struggled, particularly at home this season, conceding three goals to Famalicão and two to Estoril.

Today’s opponents, Casa Pia, aren’t particularly strong offensively, with only six goals scored in seven away matches.

This presents an opportunity for Braga’s defense to finally stabilize and put an end to their habit of conceding.

Casa Pia is a solid mid-table team that handles smaller Portuguese sides comfortably.

However, they struggle significantly when facing the top five teams, especially on the road, where losses tend to pile up.

In their recent away games against the league’s elite, Casa Pia lost 2-0 to Porto, 2-0 to Sporting Lisbon, and 3-0 to Benfica, failing to score in any of these matches. Their difficulty in finding the net against stronger teams could work in Braga’s favor today.
