In the last 10 away league matches Braga has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 15 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (6 out of 10 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 19 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Coach Paulo Fonseca’s team comes to this match motivated by 5 consecutive matches with no losses. In the last match they have tied in a goalless match against Paços, so they have moved on to the next stage of the league cup. Their goal in this match should be to get another win, so they should present a very offensive strategy, to try to put pressure on Boavista and explore their defensive weaknesses. Braga is usually more dangerous on the left wing, due to the technical ability and speed of Rafa Silva. Nikola Stojiljkovic usually plays in front and has proven he is an efficient forward: he has scored 10 goals this season. Unavailable in this match should be Crislan, Niguez and Filipe Augusto, all recovering from injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Marafona, Baiano, Stian Ringstad, Willy Boly, André Pinto, Luiz Carlos, Nikola Vukčević, Josué, Alan, Nikola Stojiljković, Wilson Eduardo.
Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.
