Team News

Nacional
Braga
  • Ulisess was sent off against Estoril and will leave a gap at the heart of the defense that should be filled by Léo Santos.
  • Tiago Reis and Dyego Sousa will be in competition to lead the line.
  • Paulo Oliveira should return to the Starting XI as Arrey-Mby serves a match ban.
  • Zalazar went off injured and won't feature here which could force Carvalhal to change his formation to a 4-2-3-1, with Ricardo Horta behind the striker.

Prediction

  • CD Nacional' offensive wasn't particularly inspired last weekend as they were unable to create many chances in the 1-0 loss to Estoril. They will look to get back to winning ways at home.
  • The new manager bounce effect seems to be wearing off for SC Braga as they're facing a 3-man winless run. For the first time in 7 years, they lost to rivals Vitória SC at home, which have certainly impacted their morale.
  • The hosts last win against their next opponents happened 10 years ago. Since then, SC Braga won 10 of the 15 matches between the sides, a trend that might not change due to the visitors' superiority in quality.
