Sporting Braga did a terrible 2nd season with the coach Carlos Carvalhal after an amazing first season in 2020/2021 where they won Portuguese Cup, went to the final of Portuguese League Cup, made good campaign in Europa League losing only to Roma and fought for some moment of the season for the 2nd position, but this current season was a shame in my opinion, they lost against a bad Rangers and threw an amazing opportunity to reach the Semi-finals of Europa League, were eliminated by Vizela in Portuguese Cup and had problems to keep the 4th position, their luck was that Gil Vicente started to lose many games. After the defeat by 3-1 against Rangers the president Antonio Salvador was quite harsh with his words and said that in that game "The team in the 1st half did not exist in the pitch and on the bench" and the relation between him and the coach are terrible now and he already said that he will leave after this season and probably they will sign with Andrea Pirlo. They defend very bad and create few goal chances contrary to what they did on the last season. The defenders concede so many mistakes and lose a lot the possession of the ball. They have one important absence for this game, the centre-back Diogo Leite as he is loaned by Porto. In these tougher games Carlos Carvalhal is always afraid and put players that are better defensively than offensively, they won't be happy with a draw and will try to win the game but I cannot see it happening honestly as Porto already achieved 58 games without losing for the league.

Probable line-up: Matheus; Fabiano - Tormena - Paulo Oliveira - David Carmo - Rodrigo Gomes; Al Musrati - Andre Horta; Ricardo Horta - Iuri Medeiros and Abel Ruiz.

FC Porto are the best team playing I have ever seen in Portugal since I started to watch football and this is easily explained by their records of this season. They have the record of invincibility in Portugal for the national league - 58 games so far and I cannot see them losing this season. They eliminated the champion Sporting CP for the Portuguese Cup this week winning both legs for 2-1 and 1-0. The coach Sergio Conceiçao is without any doubt now the best portuguese coach at the moment. They have the chance to celebrate the title this Monday if they beat Braga and Sporting fail to win Boavista (which will be an hard game for Sporting). I think that this Porto is similar to Rangers in terms of high pressing and recovering many balls in the defense of their opponents and I think that it will happen. I see easily Porto scoring 2-3 goals today and do not think that they will concede any goal to Braga and they are in a streak of 6 games in Portugal without conceding any goal. Very confident here.

Probable line-up: Diogo Costa; Joao Mario - Pepe - Mbemba - Zaidu; Uribe - Vitinha - Otavio - Pepe; Evanilson and Taremi.

在教练卡洛斯·卡瓦哈尔的带领下，布拉加竞技队在2020/2021赛季的第一个赛季表现糟糕，他们赢得了葡萄牙杯，进入了葡萄牙联赛杯的决赛，在欧罗巴联赛中表现出色，只输给了罗马，本赛季还为第二名奋斗了一段时间。但在我看来，这个赛季是一个耻辱，他们输给了一个糟糕的流浪者，并抛出了一个进入欧罗巴联赛半决赛的绝佳机会，在葡萄牙杯被比塞拉淘汰，并无法保住第四的位置，他们的运气是吉尔·维森特开始输掉很多场比赛。在3-1负于流浪者的总统比赛后，安东尼奥·萨尔瓦多言辞严厉，他说，在那场比赛中，“上半场的球队在球场上和板凳上都不存在”，现在他和教练的关系很糟糕，他已经说过他将在这个赛季后离开，可能他们会签约皮尔洛。他们防守很差，与上个赛季相比，他们创造的进球机会很少。防守队员犯了很多错误，失去了很多控球权。这场比赛他们有一个重要的缺阵，中卫迪奥戈·雷特被租借到波尔图。在这些艰难的比赛中，卡洛斯·卡瓦哈尔总是很害怕，让防守比进攻更强的球员，他们不会对平局感到高兴，会努力赢得比赛，但我不认为这真的会发生，因为波尔图已经实现了58场联赛不输。

波尔图是我在葡萄牙看到的最好的球队，自从我开始看足球比赛，这很容易解释他们这个赛季的记录。他们在葡萄牙的国家联赛中不败——到目前为止58场比赛，我不认为他们会输掉这个赛季。他们在本周的葡萄牙杯比赛中以2-1和1-0的比分淘汰了冠军体育CP。教练塞尔吉奥Conceiçao毫无疑问是目前葡萄牙最好的教练。他们有机会在周一庆祝冠军，如果他们击败布拉加，而体育没能赢得博阿维斯塔(这对体育来说将是一场艰难的比赛)。我认为这届波尔图和流浪者在防守对手时的高压和抢断方面很相似，我认为这是会发生的。我很容易看到波尔图今天进了2-3个球，不认为他们会对布拉加失球，他们在葡萄牙连续6场比赛没有失球。非常有信心。
