Team News

Braga
Gil Vicente
  • Horta are still dealing with a muscular problem and won't feature here.
  • Niakaté is also an injury concern but might recover for Saturday' game.
  • Depú will serve the 1st of a 2-match ban after being sent off against GD Chaves.
  • Either Tiba or Maxime Dominguez will start at the middle of the park.

Prediction

  • Braga were held to a scoreless draw last time around, but were able to deliver another fine performance at the back as they earn their 3rd consecutive clean sheet. They still far away from the top of the table but will look to pressure FC Porto at 3rd place with a win here.
  • Gil Vicente FC only got a point from their home match against bottom of the table GD Chaves, but were able to increase their unbeaten run to 4 matches, during which they were able to upset a title contender - 1-1 against FC Porto.
  • Without European competition, the hosts seem to be playing better, especially at the back, and are not expected to drop points playing at home against teams that are not contending for the title. With that in mind, Braga should get back to winning ways on Saturday.
