Sporting Braga will host Moreirense at the Estádio Municipal de Braga on Sunday in the 11th round of the 2025-26 Primeira Liga campaign. The hosts will have extra motivation to return to winning ways after falling to back-to-back defeats in their last two competitive games.
Braga put up a good fight and held most of the ball, but still fell to a 2-1 defeat when they visited undefeated league leaders Porto last weekend and then suffered their first UEFA Europa League defeat of the season in their 4-3 home loss to Belgian side Genk on Thursday. Carlos Vicens’ side have only won three league games this season and are at risk of falling as low as 12th place should they fail to get a result this weekend.
Moreirense, on the other hand, have had an impressive start to the season as they sit in sixth place, only four points behind the top four and five points clear of Sunday's hosts. The visitors, who finished last season in 10th place with only 10 wins from 34 games, picked up their sixth win of the current league campaign in a comfortable 2-0 home victory over Arouca last weekend and will be optimistic to continue their commendable campaign when they visit Braga.
