SC Braga started really bad this season in my opinion after an amazing pre-season. I said when I sent the bet on Braga against Midtjylland that this game could be the click that they were looking and the true is that before this game against Pacos de Ferreira the coach Carlos Carvalhal said the same that I said in the press conference , he said that that game was the click for them and after that Braga conceded a draw against Boavista in the last minute and then won 3 games in a row. They improved a lot in my opinion, they bought one of the best right defenders in this league now, a player from Manchester City Yan Couto and he is the piece that they were needing as they lost their main right defender from the last season to Sporting, Ricardo Esgaio and were playing with Fabiano who doesn't have enough quality to play in Braga at the moment. The coach Carlos Carvalhal lost this title only in the final last year against Sporting and he said that he wants to win League Cup this season and for that won't rotate the team as he knows that this game is really important and to win by more than 1 goal as Boavista already beat Pacos Ferreira by 2-1 and if Braga wins by 2 goals or more they just need to draw on the next game against Boavista and they will play as away which makes things harder for them. Braga are improving, have so much better players, one of the best coaches of the league and without many changes. I think that Braga can beat them easily.

Probable line-up: Matheus; Yan Couto - Tormena - Diogo Leite - Sequeira - Galeno; Andre Castro - Al Musrati; Iuri Medeiros - Ricardo Horta and Abel Ruiz.

Pacos de Ferreira lost the best coach they had in the last 10 years, Pepa to Vitoria Guimaraes who achieved an amazing 5th place on Pacos and gave them the chance to play on Uefa Conference League, but they were eliminated by the strong Tottenham. They started well with some official matches and achieved better physical indices than the other teams as they started first, but after 3-4 games that difference stopped being noticed and it resulted in bad performances. They are in 6 games without any win if we dont count the win for the Cup against Aguias Moradal who are a team from the 4th division of Portugal. They have very important absences like Eustaquio, Nuno Santos, Diaby, Marco Baixinho, Joao Vigario and Lucas. They know that they have very few chances to get qualified after losing the 1st match, as this year the format changed and now the groups are composed by 3 teams so which team only make 2 games. The coach said that they will play to win but will make a lot of changes compared to the last match, so they will play with some young players.

Probable line-up: Vekic; Jorge Silva - Flavio Ramos - Nuno Lima - Luis Bastos; Rui Pires - Matchoi Djalo - Ibrahim; Uilton - Juan Delgado and Joao Pedro.

在我看来，在经历了令人惊叹的季前赛之后，布拉加这个赛季的开局真的很糟糕。当我下注布拉加对中日兰时我说这场比赛可能是他们所期待的，而事实上在这场对费雷拉的比赛之前教练卡洛斯·卡瓦尔哈尔说的和我在新闻发布会上说的一样，他说那场比赛对他们来说是决定性的，在那之后布拉加在最后一分钟被博阿维斯塔逼平，然后连赢三场。在我看来，他们进步了很多，他们从曼城买来了现在联赛中最好的右后卫之一，Yan Couto，他是他们在上赛季失去右后卫后所需要的。里卡多·埃斯加约和法比亚诺同场竞技，法比亚诺目前没有足够的能力在布拉加比赛。教练卡洛斯Carvalhal去年损失了这个标题只在最后对体育和他说,他想要赢得本赛季联赛杯和不旋转的团队他知道这个游戏是非常重要的,为了赢得超过1目标Boavista已经由2 - 1击败帕科费雷拉和如果布拉加赢得2目标或更多的只是我们需要在下一场对博阿维斯塔的比赛中平局，他们将在客场比赛，这对他们来说更加困难。布拉加正在进步，有很多更好的球员，是联盟最好的教练之一，而且没有太多变化。我认为布拉加可以轻松击败他们。

帕科斯·德·费雷拉失去了过去10年来最好的教练佩帕，而维多利亚·吉马良斯在帕科斯取得了令人惊讶的第五名，给了他们参加欧联联赛的机会，但他们被强大的托特纳姆淘汰了。他们在一些正式比赛中开局很好，并且取得了比其他球队更好的身体指标，因为他们先发，但在3-4场比赛后，这种差异不再被注意到，这导致了糟糕的表现。如果我们不计算他们在杯赛上对葡萄牙第四级球队阿奎亚斯·莫拉达尔的胜利，他们已经有6场比赛没有赢过。他们有很多重要的缺阵，比如尤斯塔基奥、努诺·桑托斯、迪亚比、马可·拜辛霍、若昂·维格里奥和卢卡斯。他们知道在输掉第一场比赛后，他们很少有机会获得资格，因为今年的模式改变了，现在小组由3支球队组成，所以哪支球队只打了2场比赛。教练说他们会为了胜利而比赛，但是和上次比赛相比会有很多变化，所以他们会和一些年轻球员一起比赛。
