Paços Ferreira Preview
Paços Ferreira is having a very poor campaign and if they do not improve they could face relegation sooner than later. After playing 16 matches, they have a record of one win, three draws and 12 defeats that makes them the team that has won the least and lost the most in the Portuguese tournament.
Their offense has not been good, and they have the lowest number of goals scored (9), and their defense has not been good either, with the second-highest number of goals conceded (31). The positive thing prior to this game is that their only win came in the previous match, and they have managed to go two games without losing, which could be enough motivation to face one of the best teams of the season.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): José Carlos Marafona, Vitorino Antunes, Jóbson de Brito, Nuno Lima, Juan Delgado, Rui Guerra, Luíz Carlos Martins, Zé Uilton, Matchoi Djaló, Nigel Thomas, Alexandre Guedes.
Braga Preview
Braga is proving to be one of the serious contenders for the Primeira Liga title this campaign. They are currently in second place with 12 wins, one draw and three defeats, with a total of 37 points, four points behind leaders Benfica, who have 41 points. The highlight of this team now is that it comes into this duel with four consecutive victories.
Furthermore, Braga has been the best away team this campaign, losing only one of the eight games they have played in rival territory. This outstanding record of 7 wins playing away, represents the majority of his win total.
