Team News

Braga
Porto
  • Yan Couto and Fabiano will be in competition to start at right wing-back.
  • Diogo Leite is unavailable as he cannot face his parent club. Tormena, David Carmo and Paulo Oliveira should start at the heart of the defence.
  • Vitor Oliveira is available and ready to boost SC Braga' options up front.
  • Uribe remains injured, which means Grujic should start once again in the middle of the park, although Eustáquio is also an option.
  • Pepê played at right-back last time out, but should start on the bench on Monday, with João Mário starting here.
  • Toni Martínez netted the winner last time out, but that shouldn't be enough to make it into the starting XI.

Prediction

  • SC Braga were held to a goalless draw by GD Estoril-Praia last time out and their chances of finishing in the top three are nigh-on impossible. With that in mind, Carlos Carvalhal's men have nothing but pride to fight for here.
  • FC Porto's remarkable domestic season continued as they defeated Sporting CP to progress to the Portuguese Cup final. They would be crowned Primeira Liga champions on Monday if they beat SC Braga and Sporting CP fail to get all three points from their trip to Boavista.
  • Despite being tired from their midweek match against a direct rival, the visitors will be full of confidence and will likely take another step on their way to the title.
