Braga
Porto
  • With both Sequeira and Borja out of action, Rodrigo Gomes could start at left-back.
  • Either Iuri Medeiros or Bruma will start out wide here.
  • Pizzi could feature in the middle of the park if Artur Jorge opts for an offensive approach.
  • Uribe will play his last match and will be eager to leave FC Porto with a trophy.
  • João Mário is the only injury concern for Sérgio Conceição's men.
  • Evanílson and Toni Martínez are in competition to feature alongside Taremi up front.

Prediction

  • FC Porto enjoyed a decent end of the season as they came close to stealing the title from SL Benfica. However, the Eagles' firepower kept the the Dragons at bay. They will look to end the season with another trophy after winning the Portuguese Super Cup and the Portuguese League Cup.
  • SC Braga secured a spot in UEFA Champions League’s third preliminary round as they finished third in the Primeira Liga. Against title contenders like FC Porto, SC Braga have endured tough defeats like a pair of 5-0 losses to Sporting CP, but were also competitive as shown by their 3-0 victory over SL Benfica.
  • There have been two meetings between both teams this season. FC Porto won the first match 4-1, before drawing 0-0 in Braga. That last match is a fairer reflection of both sides' competitiveness and as such, a draw is on the cards for Sunday's final.
