Team News

Braga
Farense
  • After being rested in midweek, Paulo Oliveira, El Ouazzani and Vítor Carvalho should get back to the Starting XI.
  • Guitane and Bruma will be in competition to start out wide.
  • Marco Matias is back available and could make an appearance here.
  • Raúl Silva scored in each of his last two appearences and should be boosted against his former club.

Prediction

  • The return from the International Break didn't do Braga any good, as they were rather inconsistent in their performances. After struggling to overcome a third-tier team in the Portuguese Cup, they were beaten at home by Bodo Glimt in the Europa League.
  • SC Farense are still enjoying their new manager bounce effect as they remain unbeaten under Tozé Marreco' command. The Faro Lions, however, are still at the dropout zone and will need a point or three to escape it.
  • The visitors were unable to get points from their trip to Braga in the XXI century, something that could change on Sunday given both sides' momentum.
