Prediction: 1-0
Estoril
Braga will be aiming to move closer to the Champions League berth when they take on Estoril at their Estadio Municipal de Braga. Os Arcebispos have been playing below expectations in the first half of the season, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat Estoril in front of home fans. Keep in mind, though, that the hosts will be with one eye on the Europa League decider against Crvena zvezda. All David Carmo, Vitor Tormena, Ali Elmusrati, and Nuno Sequeira are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Estoril, on the other hand, are enjoying a very successful season, with the team suffering no more than one defeat in the process. Os Canarinhos are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Sunday’s clash, but preventing Braga from scoring at Estadio Municipal de Braga is easier said than done. In their last meeting in the Portuguese top flight Braga crushed Estoril 6-0.
