Team News

Braga
Boavista
  • João Ferreira returns after serving a ban, meaning that Carlos Carvalhal will have a full squad to pick from.
  • El Ouazzani scored in each of his last two appearances and should get the nod over Fran Navarro up front.
  • Bruno, Pedro Gomes, Reisinho and Salvador Agra will all miss out through suspension here, forcing coach Bacci to ring the changes to his usual starting XI.
  • On the other hand, Seba Pérez is available and will start.

Prediction

  • After beating Estrela da Amadora 1-0, SC Braga were beaten by Union St Gilloise in midweek in the Europa League. Carlos Carvalhal's men didn't put in convincing displays in either match and will have to improve if they want to keep their place in the league's top four.
  • In a very controversial game, Boavista ended up losing to Casa Pia 3-2 last weekend, extending their winless run to eight games. The team remains rooted to the bottom of the table with just 12 points and will try to spring an upset in Braga in order to breathe easier.
  • Boavista's last game left them without four of their regular starters and that could have an impact in a match where they face a technically superior opponent. SC Braga can be expected to get all three points.
