Braga must break sequence of away losses
Braga were bounced out of the cup in midweek by Vizela and will be out to ensure they don’t suffer a similar fate away to another lower-half team this Thursday.

Carlos Carvalhal’s team have lost their last five away games in all competitions and conceded 16 goals during that sequence.

Although Arouca aren’t among the most potent home teams in the Primeira, Carvalhal will surely want to focus on keeping it tight at the back before Braga decide to be more expansive on their travels.

Arouca have found ways to score at home
And since the visitors have scored only six goals in their last seven away trips, we cannot escape the feeling that this will be a low-scoring contest.

Since an opening round defeat to Estoril, Arouca have found the net in all six of their subsequent league games at the Estadio Municipal, providing some faith in the hosts getting one here.

A 1-1 result is forecast as Braga need to stop the rot on their travels and dig in for a result, which we believe will follow the pattern of Arouca games recently and see both teams score.

布拉加必须打破连续不断的客场失利
布拉加在周中被维泽拉踢出了杯赛，为了确保他们不会在本周四遭遇另一支下半时的球队。

卡洛斯·卡瓦哈尔的球队在最近的五场客场比赛中都输掉了比赛，在这一系列比赛中丢了16个球。

虽然阿鲁卡并不是最强大的主场球队之一，但卡瓦略肯定想在布拉加决定扩大客场比赛之前把后防线控制得更紧一些。

阿鲁卡找到了在主场得分的方法
由于客队在过去的七次客场之旅中只进了六个球，我们不能不觉得这将是一场低得分的比赛。

自从首轮被埃斯托利尔击败后，阿鲁卡队在接下来的六场比赛中都取得了进球，这让他们对东道主在这里取得进球有了一些信心。

1-1的比分是可以预测的，因为布拉加需要停止他们在客场的颓势，努力争取一个好结果，我们相信这将会遵循最近阿鲁卡比赛的模式，两队都能进球。
