Prediction: 0-2
Braga
Braga will look to seal their spot in the Champions League qualifiers when they take on Boavista on the penultimate day of the season. Braga are enjoying a campaign to remember and a triumph over Boavista will see them put the icing on the cake. The good news for the visitors is that Spanish forward Alvaro Djalo returns from suspension, while Andre Castro remains on the sidelines with a muscle problem. Fellow midfielder Ali Elmusrati is a major doubt.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team continuing with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Anyhow, away win should be considered as Braga are determined to represent Portugal in the elite competition next term. Boavista boss Petit will watch the game from the stands following his sending-off in a 3-1 loss to Gil Vicente.
