Braga vs Rio Ave Match Preview

The Archbishops have a game in hand, and they still are placed fourth in the table.

Moreover, with the third-placed Porto and the fifth-placed Guimaraes taking on each other the coming week, it's an opportunity for Carlos Carvalhal's men to improve their position in the standings.

Going on, with four wins from the last five fixtures in the league, the Archbishops easily have been the best team in the competition, along with Sporting and Porto.

Meanwhile, Vilacondenses have scored the least number of goals of all the teams in the Portuguese top flight, and they have secured a total of just two wins all through this campaign. Moreover, one of those wins had come against a relegation-battler.

In addition, Carvalhal's men also have a great h2h record against this opponent over the years, and especially so at this venue.

Likely, expect Braga to have the upper hand this Tuesday at their home.
