Having lost a four-game unbeaten run against Sporting Lisbon (4-2) in Ruben Amorim’s final game before departing for Manchester United, Braga have responded positively with three wins on the bounce.

Carlos Carvalhal’s side have beaten Leixoes (2-0), Hoffenheim in the Europa League (3-0) and AVS (1-0) in the Liga to start December, leaving them fifth, just outside the European spots.

Os Arsenalistas were favourites to end the previous round inside the top four, only for fourth-placed Santa Clara to shock Sporting 1-0 in Lisbon, leaving Braga one point behind in the continental battle after 12 rounds.

While the travelling Canaries face an uphill task in Braga, Ian Cathro’s side staying winless on the road highlights the magnitude of the Lisbon outfit’s task.

Canarinhos have not won in five tried outside Cascais, strikingly firing blanks in four matches – Vitoria Guimaraes (1-0), Boavista (0-0), Farense (1-0) and Porto (4-0).

While supporters hoped the 2-2 draw at Rio Ave in late September could prompt a turnaround in away results, successive losses to Farense and Porto have deflated that optimism to extend a year-long wait for away success.

Sporting Braga vs. Estoril Head to head
