Team News

Braga
Famalicao
  • Niakaté and Bruma were punished for bad behavior by Carlos Carvalhal and might not feature once again.
  • Arrey-Mby might replace João Pereira at the heart of the defense after being rested in midweek.
  • The visitors will have a full squad to pick from here.
  • Hugo Oliveira was appointed as Famalicão' new permanent manager and remains to be seen wether he will make wholesale changes on Monday.

Prediction

  • Braga's season feels like a rollercoaster. The team had a solid period after the International Break, but in the last two games they've been unable to match it and lost 3-0 against Roma shortly after conceding a home draw against Estoril in a match where they've wasted a 2-goal lead.
  • Under their interim coach Ricardo Silva, Famalicão came close to beating FC Porto and should be confident going into the opening game of their new manager, Hugo Oliveira.
  • Fatigue from the midweek game and poor form should be too heavy on SC Braga' shoulders. They will face a tough test against one of the teams that got best results against title contenders - Benfica and FC Porto have dropped points against them.
