Team News

Braga
Vitoria de Guimaraes
  • Rodrigo Zalazar doubtful for Sunday' derby, but he's likely to recover.
  • Roger Fernandes is fully recovered and could start out wide here
  • Jorge Fernandes remains injured and won't feature here.
  • Chuchu Ramírez should get the nod upfront after a couple of wonderful performances prior to the break.

Prediction

  • SC Braga have not had an auspicious start to the season, dropping four points in four games and struggling to pick up the six points they have so far. It's true that the team has improved under Carlos Carvalhal, but it's still not completely convincing.
  • Vitória SC's start to the season has been practically faultless. The Vimaranenses have won 9 of the 10 games they've played across all competitions, thanks to very solid defensive performances that put them 2 points clear of their rivals.
  • Vitória SC haven't won a match in Braga since 2017, but the form of both teams makes that a possible scenario for Sunday, especially if Salazar doesn't recover for the hosts.
