Team News

Estoril
Braga
  • Felix Bacher saw a fifth yellow card of the season and will serve a match ban as a result, paving the way for Mangala to start at the heart of defence.
  • Wagner Pina is unavailable due to the same reason, handing Pedro Carvalho a chance to start at right-wing back.
  • Rafik Guitane might start from the outset if Ian Cathro decides to change things at Estoril' offensive line.
  • João Moutinho returns to action after serving a match ban and, with fresh legs, should start at the middle of the park alongside an inform Racic.
  • Robson Bambu is also back available and will be in competition with Niakaté to start at the back.
  • El Ouazzani came from the bench to score against AFS and could actually relegate 18-year old Afonso Patrão to the bench.

Prediction

  • Despite a decent first half, Estoril lost 3-0 to Famalicão last time out, which makes their chances of reaching the top five very difficult. In any case, Ian Cathro's men are having a great second half of the season and this defeat won't dent their confidence.
  • SC Braga put in a very consistent display against AFS and that was reflected in the result - the Gverreiros do Minho won 4-1. They're looking to maintain third place and a win here will be very important to reach that goal.
  • In the last 14 games between the two teams, SC Braga haven't tasted defeat and have won 10 games during this period, with only 1 of the 4 draws coming at the António Coimbra da Mota Stadium. Given the difference in quality between the two teams and the absences in Estoril's defence, the visitors can be expected to come away with all three points.
