AVS Futebol SAD

Form: DLLDD

It has been a tough introduction for newly promoted AVS Futebol SAD in the Primeira Liga this season. After 11 games, they find themselves occupyingཧ 13th place in the league standings and are two points ahead of t𓃲he relegation zone. 

In their most recent match, they succumbed to a 3-2 defeat against Lusitano 1911 in the fourth round🧔 of the Taca de Portugal. This comes after being held to a goalless draw against Estoril Praia in the lܫeague, which extended their winless run to six games (L3, D3).

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Ochoa; Fonseca, De💎venish, Teixeira, Kiki; Silva, Grau, Aburjania; Lopes, Lu🎉is, Mercado

Braga

Form: LWWLW

Braga have always started the season at a slow pace, ✱so it doesn't come as a shock that they are outside the top four after 11 games played. With 20 points accumulated, they occupy fifth place in the league standings and are five points behind third-placed Benfica. 

Os Arcebispos were all smiles in Thursday's UEFA Europa League ♑clash against German opposition Hoffenheim. Individual goals from Bruma, Roger Fernandes, and Carvalho were more than enough to see them secure a decisive 3-0 home victory. This comes after a much-needed 2-0 away win against Leixoes in the fourth round of the Taca de Portugal, which served as consolation for their convincing 4-2 defeat against table-t💮oppers Sporting CP in the league. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-3

Matheus; Niakate, Bambu,𒈔 Arrey-Mbi; Fernandes, Moutinho, Carvalho, Martinez; Horta, Ouazzani, 𒈔Bruma

Expert Betting Tips

Bolstered by their UEFA Europa League success𓄧 during the week, Brazil can be trusted to step up to the plate and build on this momentu✤m. While there's no record of past meetings between them and AVS Futebol SAD, I feel the away team has performed much better this season.

Besides that, they have lost just one of their last five away matches (W3, D1), which makes me inclined to think that they'll be able to come away with all three points. I don't expect AVS Futebol SAD to cause any problems here, which is why I'm leaning towards a full-time win for the 🌞visitors.
