Sporting Braga — AVS : Match Preview and Prediction for August 24,2025

Sporting Braga’s Exceptional Current Form

Sporting Braga is currently showcasing absolutely phenomenal form. Remarkably, the Portuguese side suffered their last defeat way back in the previous season. Now, the team boasts a splendid unbeaten run at the very beginning of this campaign, encompassing even their pre-season friendly matches.

Braga’s Strong Start and Recent Transfers

Sporting Braga executed several highly impactful and intriguing transfers ahead of this season. The squad has since embarked on its journey in the Europa League, where they initially struggled to overcome Levski. However, the Portuguese gradually found their rhythm and began to dominate increasingly formidable opponents. Ultimately, they managed to defeat Romanian side Cluj twice, and in their most recent fixture, they simply dismantled their Gibraltarian counterparts. Concurrently, Sporting Braga is consistently overwhelming all their rivals in the domestic league, having scored three goals in every match so far.

AVS’s Challenging Previous Season

AVS had a rather unsuccessful previous season. The team found itself battling in the relegation playoff zone, barely managing to conclude the championship in sixteenth place. Notably, they were one of the lowest-scoring teams in the Primeira Liga, only just securing their top-flight status through the playoff encounters.

AVS’s Modest Squad Reinforcement and Poor Pre-Season Form

Despite their struggles, AVS made minimal additions to their squad. They notably lost Mercado, whom they managed to sell for a decent profit. However, the team acquired Escobar, Pedro Lima, and Gonçalves. A significant concern is the team’s very limited participation in friendly matches at the start of this season, playing only four games without securing a single victory. Subsequently, AVS lost to both Arouca and Casa Pia in the league championship. Their defensive play has been truly abysmal, evident even in their home games where they conceded two goals.
