Team News

Braga
Moreirense
  • Paulo Oliveira will likely be paired with José Fonte at the heart of the defense as Saatçi faces a match ban due to an accumulation of bookings.
  • Rodrigo Zalazar is enjoying a lovely run of form and will certainly get the nod over Pizzi at the middle of the park.
  • Rui Borges might opt for Madson out wide due to his defensive awareness.
  • Ofori and Ismael will be in competition to start at the visitors' engine room.

Prediction

  • After winning the league cup, SC Braga slipped at home against GD Chaves, as they were held to a 1-1 draw. That point helped them get into 4th place, surpassing Vitória SC but they should be worried with their ineffective performance.
  • Moreirense FC bounced back from a 5-0 loss to FC Porto with a home win against neighbors FC Famalicão. They're still 6th in the league and will look to close the gap to top 4 with a win here.
  • In the last 7 matches between the sides, the hosts came on top in every occasion and they might stretch that run to 8 matches here but this shouldn't be a walk in the park for Artur Jorge' men.
