Team News

Moreirense
Braga
  • Rafael Santos joined Dinis Pinto and Sylla on the sidelines and won't feature here.
  • Rodrigo Macedo won't feature here as he cannot face his parent club.
  • Djaló will push for a start after a wonderful goal last time out. He might replace Ricardo Horta, who is on international duty.
  • Serdar will miss out for the same reason, which means that Niakaté and Fonte should start at the heart of the defence.
  • With Abel Ruiz unavailable, Simon Banza should lead the line.

Prediction

  • Moreirense FC earned their first win of the season by beating GD Chaves away from home. They have been well organised at the back and should be hard to beat as they've proved against SC Braga's direct rival FC Porto.
  • SC Braga earned a 1-1 draw thanks to a wonderful free kick goal from Álvaro Djaló last time out. However, they've only claimed four points from the first three Primeira Liga matches, which makes this match a must win if they want to keep the pace in the title race.
  • The visitors have beaten their opponents in each of their last seven meetings, which should give them hope on getting back to winning ways. However, this will be no walk in the park for Artur Jorge's men.
