Team News

Arouca
Braga
  • Pablo Gonzálbez, Galovic, Matías Rocha and Kouassi miss out through injury.
  • Vasco Seabra was appointed following the sacking of Gonzalo Garcia and it remains to be seen whether he will change much of the usual starting XI.
  • Gabri Martinez, Gharbi and Zalazar should reclaim their starting XI spots after being rested last time out.
  • Carvalhal should keep the four-man backline that faced Vitória SC last time out.

Prediction

  • FC Arouca's 4-1 loss to Estoril was the straw that broke the camel's back and Gonzalo Garcia was sacked. They have only won once in their last six league games and will hope for a new manager bounce in order to get back to winning ways.
  • SC Braga came from behind to beat rivals Vitória SC in midweek and secure a spot in the semi-finals of the League Cup. After a tough period, they seem to have found some consistency on their game.
  • SC Braga have enjoyed their recent visits to Arouca having scored 13 goals in last three matches there. Things, however, should be different here as they should be fatigued after their midweek clash against rivals Vitória SC.
