Braga Look to Capitalise on Nacional's Poor Run

Nacional sit 16th after eight games with only four points and five straight defeats. SC Braga hold ninth spot with eleven points from the same number of matches and show more consistency overall. Head-to-head results heavily favour the visitors, who have won eight of the last ten meetings. Both sides average just 1.1 goals scored per league game this season, yet Nacional concede 2.3 per match compared with Braga’s 1.3. Nacional have kept just one clean sheet in eight outings while failing to score in three. At home their defensive record worsens to 2.5 goals conceded per game. Braga’s organised approach away from home should create problems for a Nacional side that has leaked heavily in recent fixtures.
