CD Tondela are having a lot of problems to remain in the 1st League. They have probably one of the best projects in Portugal outside the top 4 teams, Sporting, Benfica, Porto and Braga. In the last 5 games for the league they only won 1 in a very good comeback against Portimonense but only because they got reduced to 10 men since Filipe Relvas got red card. They are a team that take a lot of risks as they know if they win they escalate much faster the table than draw by draw and that's why they only have 2 draws in 22 games. In the last month they lost their best player, the fastest player of the squad Jhon Murillo who went to Mexico. For this game I expect Tondela trying to play eyes to eyes against Braga and it will make the game much tougher. The midfielder Muratore will miss this game due to personal problems.

Probable line-up: Pedro Trigueira; Bebeto - Sagnan - Manu Hernando - Neto Borges; Tiago Dantas - Pedro Augusto - Joao Pedro; Boselli - Salvador Agra and Daniel dos Anjos.

Sporting Braga should be playing much more than what they are playing right now. I honestly thought that they would be fighting easily for the top 3 with Sporting, Porto and Benfica. They come for this game after a tough defeat against Sheriff for the Europa League and now they need to give a fast response to their supporters or new problems can arise. With the win of Gil Vicente today against Beleneneses SAD they have only more 1 point than them and to run away from Gil Vicente they really need to win this game and in case of win they can be only 7 points behind Benfica and now the 3rd place in Portugal gives access to the play-offs of Champions League and financially the difference between the 4th and the 3rd place is really huge. I think that finally Carlos Carvalhal discovered the best formula to replace Galeno (he signed for FC Porto) and is not playing with Francisco Moura but yes with Rodrigo Gomes the winger with 18 years old but is the more similar with Galeno. They have one absence for this game, the midfielder Andre Horta but he is not a key player for the coach in the midfield. I really think that Braga will overplay Tondela and can win the game without any problem.

Probable line-up: Matheus; Yan Couto - Tormena - Diogo Leite - Paulo Oliveira - Rodrigo Gomes; Al Musrati - Andre Castro; Ricardo Horta - Iuri Medeiros and Vitinha.

通德拉想要保级难度极大。除了葡萄牙体育、本菲卡、波尔图和布拉加这四支顶级球队之外，他们可能拥有葡萄牙最好的项目之一。在联赛的最后 5 场比赛中，他们只赢了 1 场，在对阵 Portimonense 的比赛中表现出色，但这仅仅是因为自 Filipe Relvas 吃到红牌后他们的人数减少到了 10 人。他们是一支冒很大风险的球队，因为他们知道，如果他们赢了，他们在积分榜上的升级速度要比平局快得多，这就是为什么他们在 22 场比赛中只有 2 场平局的原因。在上个月，他们失去了他们最好的球员，他是前往墨西哥的球队中最快的球员乔恩穆里略。对于这场比赛，我预计通德拉会尝试与布拉加进行面对面的比赛，这将使比赛变得更加艰难。中场穆拉托雷因个人问题将缺席本场比赛。

布拉加应该比他们现在的排名更高。老实说，我认为他们会轻松地与葡萄牙体育、波尔图和本菲卡争夺前三名。他们是在欧联杯中惨败给警长之后来到这场比赛的，现在他们需要对他们的支持者做出快速反应，否则可能会出现新的问题。随着今天吉尔维森特战胜贝莱内塞斯 SAD，他们只比他们多得 1 分，为了摆脱吉尔维森特，他们真的需要赢得这场比赛，如果获胜，他们可能只落后本菲卡 7 分，现在排名第三在葡萄牙可以参加欧冠的附加赛，在财政上，第 4 名和第 3 名之间的差距真的很大。我认为最终卡洛斯·卡瓦哈尔找到了替代加莱诺（他签约波尔图）的最佳方案，并且没有与弗朗西斯科·莫拉一起踢球，而是与 18 岁的边锋罗德里戈·戈麦斯一起踢球，但与 Galeno 更相似。他们有一个本场比赛，中场球员安德烈-奥尔塔缺席，但他并不是中场主帅的关键球员。我真的认为布拉加会过度发挥通德拉，并且可以毫无问题地赢得比赛。
