Betting suggestion:

We are expecting that both teams will score in this match at least once. Attneding to Braga's last exhibitions at home thay should break Porto's defence at least once, because the visitors are revealing some deffensive problems. In the other hand, FC Porto will play offensively and with their best players, so they should also manage to score.

The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 4, tied 0 and lost 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primeira Liga, on 06‑03‑2015, Porto won by (0‑1). Tello (73' ) scored the only goal of the match.

Analysis Braga

The home team is currently in the 4ª position of the league, with 44 points won, after 12 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Vitória Guimarães, by (3‑3). In the last match, they tied in an away match against o Arouca, by (0‑0). They come to this match after a away draw against Rio Ave by (0‑0). For the league, Braga won 21 points out of 30 possible points, after 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 losses in the last 10 home matches.

Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 10 of the last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Braga is passing through a good moment of the season and, more than qualifiying to the next Europa League and Portuguese Cup phases, they are unbeaten at seven consecutive matches to the championship. 
In this match, their manager Paulo Fonseca should play in his usual 4-4-2 formation with Hassan and Stojiljkovic at the front - the latter has already signed 12 golas in the season.
We should alert that Braga's left flank is very dangerous thanks to Rafa Silva which is very quick and capable in transporting the ball. Into this match, the manager should not use Cristian and Ringstad due to injuries, and Filipe Augusto who is suspended. Josué, loaned by FC Porto, won't play as well.

Confirmed Lineup: Marafona, Baiano, Djavan, Willy Boly, Ricardo Ferreira, Luiz Carlos, Mauro, Rafa Silva, Pedro Santos, Nikola Stojiljković, Koka.
Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.

Analysis Porto

The away team is currently in the 3ª position of the league, with 55 points won, after 17 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against o Moreirense, by (3‑2). In the last match, they won in an away match against o Belenenses, by (1‑2). In their last match, for the Taça de Portugal, they got a home win against o Gil Vicente by (2‑0). In the last 10 away league matches Porto has a record of 7 wins, 1 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 22 points out of 30 possible.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times but have turned the score around in 4. In the last 12 away matches for this competition there are 1 periods that stand out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

FC Porto is motivated after beating Gil Vicente and earning a place at Portuguese Cup Final. In this important match, the manager José Peseiro would adopt his usual 4-3-3 formation giving emphasys to ball management and organized attacking. Anyway, they might give control to his opponent at some moments of the game to explore quick transitions: Brahimi and Corona are the wingers responsible for that. The great doubt at Porto's eleven is verify who is going to play at the front: suk or Aboubakar. 
We should notice that Aboubakar is the best scorer of the team with 16 goals. Evandro should not be an option for José Peseiro in this match due to an injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Casillas, Maxi Pereira, Miguel Layún, Ivan Marcano, Bruno Martins Indi, Danilo Pereira, Héctor Herrera, Rúben Neves, André André, Hyun-Jun Suk, Yacine Brahimi.
Coach: S. Marceneiro Conceição.
