Braga vs Benfica Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Braga face Benfica in the Liga Portugal on May 17. The match is set to start at 14:30 UTC.

As Braga and Benfica square off once more, the memory of Braga's 1-0 win in their National cup meeting from 2 months ago still lingers. Braga come into this match following a defeat to Casa Pia yesterday, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance, although they have been unable to secure a victory in their past three games. If they aim to regain control of matches, defensive adjustments will be necessary, given that their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in three consecutive matches.

Benfica approach this clash having drawn with Sporting yesterday, extending their unbeaten streak to eleven matches.

This Liga Portugal match offers a platform for Braga and Benfica’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Braga’s top finisher Ricardo Horta and Bruma have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Carlos Carvalhal, remains effective.

Meanwhile, Vangelis Pavlidis and Muhammed Kerem Akturkoglu have been pivotal for Benfica’s attack, crafted under Bruno Lage’s leadership, combining to deliver important goals and assists. With eighteen goals in Liga Portugal, Pavlidis is Benfica’s top scorer in the league, with Akturkoglu leading their creative tally in the league with nine assists.
