With four match days remaining, SC Braga sit in 3rd place with 58 points from 26 matches, five points behind the leaders, FC Porto and a solitary point behind second-placed SL Benfica.
A few weeks ago, Braga were in a great position to finish as the champions but a 0-1 defeat against FC Porto on Matchday 26 at the Estadio Municipal de Braga on April 7 and another loss (1-2) to Benfica at the Estadio da Luz on March 31 proved almost mortal in Braga’s push for their first-ever domestic titles.
A win will take Braga to 2nd on the log albeit temporarily with Benfica and Porto scheduled to play on Saturday.
Echiejile is expected to start for Braga in Friday’s game as he has been one of the most consistent performers in Leonardo Jardim’s side this season.
The 24-year-old Nigerian has scored 4 goals in the Portuguese Superliga this term.
Echiejile is also an important member of the Nigeria men’s national team where he has made 16 appearances since making his debut in 2009.
