Team News

Braga
Pacos de Ferreira
  • Racic might return to Starting XI, replacing Pizzi.
  • Artur Jorge could ring the changes here, having the Portuguese Cup final in mind. Tiago Sá, Joe Mendes, Álvaro Djaló and Simon Banza could all have a chance to start as a result.
  • Paulo Bernardo will likely return to action here, replacing Rui Pires.
  • With Holsgrove suspended, Luiz Carlos is expected to start in the middle of the park.
  • Hernâni Infande won't be available as he cannot face his parent club. Thomas and Uilton will start out wide as a result.

Prediction

  • A late goal kept SC Braga from getting all three points against Boavista FC. Nonetheless, they've granted a spot at the Champions League preliminary round thanks to Sporting CP draw against SL Benfica.
  • FC Paços de Ferreira got a 3-1 win over Rio Ave FC but that wasn't enough to avoid relegation. They will look to upset SC Braga as they were able to do in two of their last three trips to Pedreira.
  • Neither side has more than pride to fight for, which should give us an entertaining affair, with SC Braga probably coming on top as they have a far better team.
