Braga will welcome Celta Vigo to Estádio Municipal de Braga in a friendly on Saturday. The hosts will conclude their preseason with this match, while Celta are set to play four more games.

Os Arcebispos have enjoyed a 100% record in their four friendlies thus far and will look to make it five wins in a row. They met Moreirense in their previous outing earlier this week and registered a 2-0 win. Ricardo Horta and Ismael Gharbi scored in the first and second halves, respectively.

The visitors met Famalicao in their preseason opener earlier this week and suffered a 2-0 loss. They will look to open their goalscoring account here.

Braga vs Celta Vigo Prediction

The Arsenalists had concluded the 2024-25 season on a four-game winless run, but have enjoyed a winning run in the preseason thus far. They have scored two goals apiece in their last three games and will look to build on that form.

Los Celestes failed to score in their preseason opener on Tuesday and will look to improve upon that record. They are winless in two meetings against the hosts, scoring just once.

Iago Aspas won't feature in this match as he suffered a strain in the friendly on Tuesday. The injury is not serious, and he should be able to play normally next week. Franco Cervi, Joseph Aidoo, and Javi Rueda are also unavailable due to injuries.

Os Arcebispos have enjoyed a 100% record in the preseason thus far, and considering their unbeaten record against Celta, we back them to register a comfortable win.
