Leixões vs. Braga: Portuguese Cup Match Prediction

Current form

Braga plays on three fronts at once: the Portuguese championship, the national cup and the Europa League. In all tournaments, everything is not perfect. In the national championship, the team is not even in the top 3 (fifth place), and in the Europa League it is outside the playoff zone, although so far only by additional indicators. In the cup in the last round, they had to play with Vitoria Guimaraes (2:1). The upcoming opponent is not higher in playing class than the previous vis-à-vis, so the fans are expecting a confident victory.

Disqualifications and injuries

There are no injured players on the team.

• Braga have gone three away games without a defeat
• The visitors have scored in seven of their last eight matches.

Estimated line-up: Matheus - Niakhate, Oliveira, Ferreira - Fernandes, Carvalho, Moutinho, Martinez - Bruma, El Kouazani, Horta.
