Team News

Braga
Porto
  • Serdar will earn another start if Paulo Oliveira fails to recover.
  • Iuri Medeiros netted a brace last time out and will be full of confidence heading into this match.
  • Abel Ruiz and Banza will be in competition to start up front.
  • Otávio missed out against Inter in midweek and will bring fresh legs on Sunday.
  • João Mário sustained an injury against GD Estoril-Praia and won't feature here. Pepê should replace him.
  • Ivan Marcano didn't feature in FC Porto's last Primeira Liga outing, but he's back available and ready to be paired with Pepe at the heart of the defence.

Prediction

  • SC Braga claimed an emphatic win over FC Vizela as they beaten their rivals 4-0. Artur Jorge's men have earned back-to-back clean sheet wins and are expected to be confident here.
  • FC Porto were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League after a frustrating 0-0 draw with Inter. They haven't been as solid since the World Cup break and could slip up on their trip to Braga.
  • Both sides are still hunting top spot and this will be a crucial match as a result. Combined with their need to win and their offensive power, this match has all the ingredients to be a goal feast. Playing at home, and given that FC Porto might be fatigued from their midweek match against Inter, SC Braga might get the upper hand.
