Braga v Famalicão: fourth hosts fifth in European push | OneFootball

Braga face Famalicão in Liga Portugal on Sunday, 19 April 2026 at Estádio Municipal de Braga, with fourth hosting fifth as the home side look to consolidate a European berth and the visitors aim to close the gap.

Recent meetings have been tight, with six draws across the head to head, though Braga won 2-1 away in December.

Braga have won three of their last five in all competitions, including a 4-2 victory at Real Betis, while Famalicão are unbeaten in five, taking three wins before draws at Porto and against Moreirense.

Carlos Vicens is without defenders Sikou Niakate and Adrian Barišić plus midfielder Diego Rodrigues through injury, which could limit Braga's defensive options.

The hosts have scored 55 league goals and average 2.0 per game, with Rodrigo Zalazar on 15 and Ricardo Horta on 13. The visitors concede 0.9 per game with 14 clean sheets and deliver a high volume of crosses, with Gil Dias supplying six assists. Braga's attack against Famalicão's organisation could decide the game.

A home win would move Braga to 55 points and strengthen their grip on fourth. Famalicão would reach 50 with victory, closing the gap on the European places. A draw would keep the current gap intact.
