What is Benfica and Braga's form in the 2020-21 Primeira Liga season?

Benfica had been impressive in the Primeira Liga up until last weekend, but that came to an end with their disappointing 3-0 loss to Boavista. The Eagles went on to draw their UEFA Europa League clash on Thursday, which added to the team's recent and unexpected woes.

Braga had kicked off their season with two losses, but Carlos Carvalhal's men bounced back with an ongoing four-game winning run. Unfortunately for Os Arsenalistas, they were not able to replicate their form abroad, as they were dismantled by Leicester City with a 4-0 loss last Thursday.

What is Porto and Braga's position in the 2020-21 Primeira Liga season?

Benfica get to this game in second place of the competition with 15 points. The Eagles have one of the best offensive units in the league along with Sporting and Porto, as all three teams have scored fifteen times this season. The team's defensive record has also earned praise, as they have only conceded six times during this campaign. Haris Seferovic and Gian-Luca Waldschmidt share top scorer honours with four goals to their names.

Braga make it to this match in third place with twelve points. The team coached by Carlos Carvalhal has not been as impressive in front of goal as their rivals, since they have only found the back of the net nine times. Nevertheless, Os Arsenalistas can brag about their defensive record, which has seen them concede five times this year, the third best record in the Portuguese top-flight. Bruno Viana and Wenderson Galeno share top scorer honours with two goals each.
