Gil Vicente beat Sporting Braga 2-1 in the league last February, and before that had also won away at their ground 0-1 last September. But this time the picture is different, because Sporting Braga have just lost two league games in a row and were just thrashed in the European cup in midweek. Sporting Braga still dominate possession overall, but a defence that used to be tight has been leaking badly of late, especially in the second half when they concede far more easily. Gil Vicente, meanwhile, may not score much but they don't concede much either; their defence stays well organised and they are unbeaten in their recent run. This game is likely to play out with Sporting Braga forced to open up and attack, while Gil Vicente sit deep and wait for the counter. If the hosts keep conceding as easily as they have lately, the game could end close and tight, which is the outcome that gives Gil Vicente a chance to take points here.
