Team News

Portimonense
Braga
  • Carlinhos saw the 9th yellow card of the season last time out and will serve a match ban here, opening the Starting XI door to Paulo Estrela.
  • Ronie Carrillo will likely get the nod over Hildeberto upfront if Paulo Sérgio opts for a pure striker upfront.
  • Ricardo Horta might be back available and will give a huge boost to the visitors' offensive options.
  • Roger should get the nod over Álvaro Djaló once again.

Prediction

  • The International break came at a good time for Portimonense as they were dealing with an awful run of results, losing 5 of their last 7 matches and earning just two points during that period. Paulo Sérgio' men are currently at the bottom three and will look to escape it as soon as possible.
  • With only domestic competition to focus on, SC Braga have improved a lot and will look to extend their run of good results on Monday, as they aim to get closer to the top 3.
  • The hosts might have made some improvements during the break but that might not be enough to beat a side that is way better in depth and quality. An away win is the likeliest scenario.
