SC Braga look to jump into the European contention spots while Gil Vicente aim to maintain their early presence in the title race.
SC Braga enter this fixture sitting 11th in the table with 1 point, currently 0 points off the European places with 33 games remaining. They are looking to rediscover their rhythm following a 2-2 draw against Moreirense in their opening outing. While they have stayed sharp in attack, manager Daniel Sousa will be keen to tighten a backline that has conceded four goals in their last two top-flight fixtures.
Gil Vicente arrive in high spirits, sitting 3rd with 3 points and firmly in the title race, trailing the leaders by just one point. Under manager Tozé Peixoto, the 'Roosters' started their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Rio Ave. Having finished 13th last term, Peixoto is pushing for a top-half finish—something the club hasn't achieved in the last three seasons.
