Prediction: 2-0
Portimonense
After booking their place in the Taca de Portugal final, Braga will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Portimonense on Matchday 30. The Reds are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, and a triumph over O Portimao could see them overtake Porto in second position in the standings. Artur Jorge rested a couple of first-team regulars in the 2-2 draw with Nacional, but he is going to field the best possible side this time out.
The visitors, meanwhile, are on the right track to secure the Primeira Liga survival. Portimonense proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Estoril and Gil Vicente, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Braga, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Forward Welinton Junior is back to the starting XI after serving a one-game ban in a 1-0 win over Gil Vicente.

The black and whites finished the 1984/1985 Primeira Liga campaign in 5th position in the standings and, as a result, booked their place in the UEFA Cup.
