Team News

Braga
Farense
  • Bamba got back to Starting XI and celebrated it wih a goal. He’s likely to lead the line on Sunday.
  • Ricardo Horta is a doubt and will be replaced by Rony Lopes if he fails to recover.
  • Bruno Duarte scored for the 4th game in a row and will be boosted heading into Sunday' game.
  • Christian Ponde made an impact coming from the bench and will be in competition with Matias to start out wide.

Prediction

  • SC Braga had back-to-back embarassing defeats prior this match, losing 4-2 to Qarabag and 5-0 to Sporting CP. Things are not looking good for coach Artur Jorge, who has been heavily contested lately.
  • SC Farense snatched a point at stoppage time against FC Famalicão last weekend but ended up losing 7th place to FC Arouca. However, the Faro Lions are enjoying a solid season and won't be pressured to win here.
  • In fact, SC Braga will be the ones with a urge to win as they're might be leapfrogged by rivals Vitória SC at 4th place. With that in mind, and given that they might be tired due to their midweek action, it wouldn't be a surprise if SC Farense were able to upset the Minho Warriors.
