Gil Vicente v Braga: fourth meets fifth in European spots race | OneFootball

Gil Vicente host Braga in Liga Portugal at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos on 14 February 2026, with fourth facing fifth and a European place directly in play.

Gil Vicente won the reverse fixture in September away at Braga, and arrive with momentum after back-to-back league victories over Famalicão and Moreirense.

Braga are in strong form themselves, unbeaten in their last five across all competitions and winning four of them, including emphatic league wins over AVS and Rio Ave.

Season profiles point to a clear clash of styles. Braga have scored 44 league goals, average 65% possession and 87.80% pass accuracy, and convert penalties at 90.9%. Ricardo Horta and Rodrigo Zalazar are leading threats with 10 and nine league goals respectively. Gil Vicente have kept 10 clean sheets and conceded only 17, suggesting they could look to frustrate and strike when chances come, with Pablo De Jesus on 10 league goals and Murilo adding five.

Braga sit on 39 points in fourth, with a win taking them to 42 and strengthening their grip on the Conference League qualification place. Gil Vicente are on 37 in fifth and would reach 40 with victory, which could move them into the top four and flip the race for Europe.
