Sporting Braga B
- Sporting Braga B are unbeaten at home this season (W4, D3) and average 1.00 goals per game scored at home and 0.43 conceded.
- Sporting Braga B are still in the top-four places with 20 points from 14 games in the Liga 3, Group A 2025-2026 table, while AD Marco 09 are eighth with 16 and have not been able to pull themselves clear of the lower half of the table.
- Braga B’s form has been mixed over the last five matches (W1, D2, L2) and they have drawn their last two home matches, so they will need to improve to take all three points in Sunday’s matchup with the stubborn visitors.
- But their recent 2-0 away win over Sanjoanense was a solid result and a good platform from which to build on this weekend.
- The Arsenalistas are not quite the most clinical of teams but they can be dangerous when they click into gear.
AD Marco 09
- Marco 09 are a much more pragmatic club, who have their own identity and are set up in a 4-3-3 system, although they are a low-block side, compact in their set-up and best when they can catch opponents on the break.
- The visitors also have some good form coming into this matchup (W2, D1, L2), with the last result being a gutsy 2-1 home win over SC Joao Ver.
- But both of their last two away games have ended in defeat and they have been unable to win on the road so far this term.

Key Players

Prediction
- With Braga B unbeaten at home and the visitors winless on their travels, the home side should have enough to just edge what will be a close encounter.
- Both teams will surely get a chance to score in this contest, given the opposing philosophies and some of the defensive stats of late, so Both Teams To Score will be the main selection for Sunday’s game.
