Braga enter this matchup with a clear defensive advantage.

They have conceded 11 goals in 11 league matches, while Arouca’s defence has allowed 30, making them one of the leakiest sides in the league. Form also leans toward the visitors: Arouca are on a run of five home matches without a win, whereas Braga have performed well away from home, losing only once (2-1 vs Porto) in their last five away games.

Even the recent head-to-head record supports them, Braga have won the last four meetings away at Arouca.
