Famalicao vs Braga prediction and betting tips on January 18, 2024
Game Prediction

On Thursdays, when there are no European tournaments, there is always quite a bit of football. This time, Portugal comes to the rescue. Several matches of the next, 18th round will be played in the local Primeira in the evening. Famalicao and Braga will play against each other. The journalists of the website have made a detailed prediction for this confrontation on January 18, 2024.
Famalicao remains in the middle of the table again
“Vila Nova” has been recently promoted to the top division of the country. At that time, the same investors who also control the shares of Atlético Madrid actively participated in the project. However, the newcomer didn’t really demonstrate anything impressive, but it didn’t fail either, becoming the middle peasant of the Primeira: 6th place of the first championship, which took place in 2019/2020, was followed by “hanging” around 8th-9th places. It is worth mentioning that the team reached the cup semi-finals twice, including the previous spring. The current cycle is characterized by a good start, with 1 win in the first 7 rounds. Still, then the club “fizzled” out, winning in the championship only once since the beginning of October, in the battle against Gil Vicente, which happened on November 4. And only the confrontation with Casa Pia brought an opportunity to win – 2-0.
Braga is expectedly doing worse than a season ago
“The Archbishops” were able, as they sometimes do, to oust one of the three historical giants in 2022/2023. This time, they knocked Sporting Lisbon down to 4th position. This result allowed it to try its hand in the Champions League, and it turned out well: the team qualified there and appeared ahead of Union Berlin in the dispute for 3rd place at the group stage. Taking into account the fact that the quartet included Napoli and Real, it was foolish to hope for something more. This time, Arhur Jorge’s wards have fallen back to their traditional 4th place. They were also eliminated from the cup, losing to Benfica with a 2-3 score. It was not possible to fight with Porto; the club was beaten with a 0-2 result there.
Previous head-to-head matches
Speaking about 4 previous head-to-head matches, the opponents exchanged victories. For instance, the guests won with a 2-1 score in August in Braga.
