SC Braga vs Gil Vicente

Braga host Gil Vicente in an early-season Minho derby that means plenty to both sides. Gil Vicente completed a rare double over their bigger neighbours last term, and a repeat would sting Braga just two rounds into the new Primeira Liga campaign as they try to shake off a run of four league matches without a win. Braga let two leads slip in a 2-2 draw at Moreirense, though Pau Victor got on the scoresheet, and Ricardo Horta's strong scoring record at the Estádio Municipal gives the hosts hope. Gil Vicente arrive full of confidence after Hector Hernandez's 87th-minute penalty sealed a 1-0 opening win over Rio Ave. Braga are without the injured Bright Arrey-Mbi, Jean-Baptiste Gorby, Sikou Niakhate and Adrian Barisic, while new signing Jonas Wind is still short of full fitness. Gil Vicente will be missing suspended defender Ricardo Esgaio and injured top scorer Murilo, weakening their attacking options. Our prediction: 2-1
