Team News

Porto
Braga
  • Other than Zaidu and Fran Navarro, who were not expected to start anyway, the hosts will have a clean bill of health heading into Sunday' game.
  • Samu is enjoying a delightful run of form, with 7 goals on his first 6 appearences with FC Porto. The Spaniard will be full of confidence here.
  • Fábio Vieira might feature from the outset if Vítor Bruno decides to give more creativity to his team' midfield.
  • Paulo Oliveira, Bambu, Moutinho and Zalazar remain injured and won't feature here.
  • Víctor Gomez will certainly get the nod over João Ferreira at the right-hand side of the defense.
  • Gharbi and El Ouazzani should return to the Starting XI after featuring from the bench last time out.

Prediction

  • FC Porto managed to overturn a two-goal deficit and even came from behind to beat Manchester United but ended up drawing 3-3, revealing all their defensive frailties, especially on the right flank and from set pieces. They need to react with a win if they want to pressure Sporting on the race for the title.
  • SC Braga's season has been a rollercoaster, with convincing wins and embarrassing defeats. The last few days have been a case in point - the Minho Warriors beat Rio Ave 4-0 before travelling to Greece to lose to Olympiakos.
  • FC Porto have won four of the last five games between the two teams and SC Braga's inconsistency means they'll have a similar outcome to those meetings. A home win is the most likely scenario.
