Braga vs Benfica Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Braga take on Benfica in the Liga Portugal on December 28. The game starts at 15:00 UTC.

7 months after their last face-off in Liga Portugal, the countdown begins for a clash that promises intensity as Braga and Benfica square off once more. In their last encounter, neither side could break the deadlock, ending in a 1-1 draw. Braga is enjoying a strong run, with victories over Nice, Famalicao and Arouca, pushing their unbeaten streak to six games. Their winning form has come with a cost though, as their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have been conceding goals for three consecutive home matches now. Before facing Benfica, Braga will face Estoril and Santa Clara in Liga Portugal, all of which will test their form and squad depth before facing Benfica.

Benfica's most recent outings ended in two straight victories against Moreirense and Napoli, setting a positive tone ahead of this match, stretching their unbeaten streak to seven matches. They have a challenging set of fixtures leading up to the match against Braga though, including Famalicao in Liga Portugal and SC Farense in National cup, games that could impact their momentum heading into the match against Braga.

In this Liga Portugal showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Braga and Benfica throughout the campaign. Rodrigo Zalazar and Ricardo Horta have been pivotal for Braga’s attack, under the tactical direction of Carlos Vicens, combining to deliver important goals and assists. With five goals in Liga Portugal, Horta is Braga’s top scorer in the league, as Lelo continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with four assists. Supporting them are Fran Navarro, Gabri Martinez and Pau Victor, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Braga’s attack.

Meanwhile, Benfica’s attacking options, shaped by Jose Mourinho’s vision, have been bolstered by Vangelis Pavlidis, the team’s top scorer, and Fredrik Aursnes, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. In Liga Portugal, Pavlidis has been Benfica’s standout scorer with thirteen goals, and has also shown his creativity, leading the team with three assists this campaign. Supporting them are Georgiy Sudakov, Franjo Ivanovic and Andreas Schjelderup, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Benfica’s attack.
