Porto will invite Braga to the Estádio do Dragão in the Primeira Liga on Sunday. The hosts are at the top of the table with 25 points. Os Arcebispos have three wins and trail the league leaders by 12 points.
Dragões have enjoyed an unbeaten run in the league this season, winning eight of their nine games. They met Moreirense earlier this week and registered a 2-1 comeback win. Samu Aghehowa equalized from the penalty spot late in the first half, and Deniz Gül scored the winner in the 88th minute.
The visitors extended their unbeaten streak in all competitions to six games in the Taca da Liga quarterfinals earlier this week, defeating Santa Clara 5-0. They overcame Casa Pia 4-0 at home in their previous league outing last week.

Porto vs Braga Prediction
Dragões have suffered one loss across all competitions this season, with that defeat registered away from home against Nottingham Forest in the UEFA Champions League last month. Notably, they are yet to concede a goal at home in the Primeira Liga this season.
Os Arcebispos were unbeaten across six games in October and will look to build on that form in their first match of the month. Interestingly, they have registered just one win in the league since August.
The league leaders are on a four-game winning streak at home in this fixture, scoring nine goals, and considering their unbeaten run in the league this season, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Porto 2-1 Braga
