Pacos de Ferreira open their arms to welcome title contenders Braga to the Estadio da Mata Real on Saturday evening.

Pepa's side are languishing at the foot of the standings after recording only one victory this season. In contrast, Os Arcebispos sit only four points behind leaders Benfica in the pursuit of lifting their maiden Portuguese Primeira Liga title.

We say: Pacos de Ferreira 1-3 Braga

In the presence of UEFA-designated tournaments since 2004-05, we predict that Braga will continue their aspirations of not only once gracing both domestic and continental engagements but keep their dream of winning their first-ever Primeira Liga title alive.

In the wake of accumulating 41 points from 16 matches this season, we predict that Benfica will emerge victorious with the familiarity of another three points at the Estadio de Sao Miguel on Saturday evening.
