Vitoria vs Sporting Braga Prediction and Betting Tips | September 20th 2025

Vitoria will host Sporting Braga at the Dom Afonso Henriques on Saturday in the sixth round of the 2025-26 Primeira Liga campaign. The hosts will be looking to build on their last result and push higher up the league table.

Vitoria enjoyed a deserved 2-0 win over Estrela Amadora on their return from the international break last weekend to move up to eighth place on the league table after five games played. The Conquerors, who only narrowly missed out on European qualification last season, will be aiming to string together a good run of results early in the season to ensure a top-five finish.

Braga are one point and one place above Saturday's hosts despite suffering their first loss of the season in a 1-0 defeat against Gil Vicente on Sunday. The defeat ended the visitors' 10-game unbeaten run across all competitions and marked only their second loss in their last 25 games. Carlos Vicens' side will be keen to get back to winning ways ahead of a return to European football next midweek.
