Braga will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run of form in all competitions to five matches when they head to Vizela in the Primeira Liga on Friday afternoon.
The visitors are currently fourth in the table, five points behind leaders Sporting Lisbon, while Vizela have had a tough campaign to date, only picking up 10 points to sit down in 17th position.
We say: Vizela 1-3 Braga
Vizela are capable of making this a tricky match, and we are expecting them to score on Friday, but Braga's attacking quality should allow them to triumph. The visitors have so many goalscorers in their team, and it would be a surprise if they were unable to claim all three points in this contest.

Benfica will aim to move to the top of the Portuguese Primeira Liga table on Friday, when they raise the curtain on the weekend's league fixtures at home to SC Farense.
Following a disappointing draw at the weekend, the hosts trail leaders Sporting Lisbon by two points, while their visitors sit eighth after suffering a defeat on Saturday.
We say: Benfica 2-0 SC Farense
While Benfica were frustrated by Moreirense at the weekend, we do not anticipate the Leoes de Faro managing the same feat at the Estadio da Luz on Friday.
Keen to regain ground in the fight for top spot, Schmidt's men have more than enough quality to make a swift return to winning ways on home turf.
