Sporting Braga vs FC Porto Match Preview
The game of the weekend takes place at the quarry as Braga take on runaway leaders FC Porto. The Arsenalistas won the corresponding fixture last season, and a recent upturn in results, together with some shaky displays from the Dragons will give Braga boss Domingos Paciencia hope that they can again surprise their powerful local rivals.
But Porto’s record of 17 wins and 2 draws in 19 Liga games shows the magnitude of the task facing Braga.
Both teams will be depleted through injuries to key players. Porto will again be missing Colombian striker Falcao, while Braga have to make do without Ukra, Elderson, Paulo Cesar and Lima.
