Team News

Boavista
Braga
  • Reisinho should start out wide after netting the winner last weekend.
  • Bacci could switch in to a 5-4-1 formation in order to try to sustain SC Braga' offensive power with Bruno playing as centre-back.
  • Moutinho went off injured and is not expected to feature here.
  • El Ouazzani scored in three of the last four matches and will be boosted for Sunday.

Prediction

  • Thanks to an excellent defensive performance and Reisinho's penalty, Boavista were able to beat Casa Pia last weekend. The club has had some administrative problems, but that doesn't seem to be affecting the team's competitiveness.
  • After unexpectedly sacking Daniel Sousa and immediately appointing Carlos Carvalhal as coach, Braga secured their place in the Europa League' play-offs beating Servette. The Gverreiros do Minho will be looking for their first win in the league after a disappointing draw in their opening game.
  • Braga have the better team and a depth of squad capable of overcoming the strain of midweek European matches, so they are clear favourites to win here.
