Porto take on the visitors Braga in the round 8 match of Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Friday, September 30th at Estádio do Dragão (Porto).
Let's see how the "dragons" will move away from the defeat of Brugge (0-4) in the Champions League, how the break will affect the Conceição team in general, in which a large part of the players of the Portuguese champion were involved in the matches of the national teams. In Primeira, before the pause, Porto played in a draw at Estoril (1-1), thereby dropping to 3rd place in the championship. There will be a chance to return at least the second position in this match, but the opponent is not an easy one, and the defense with Pepe is increasingly sagging in terms of reliability and speed - it will not be easy to keep a clean sheet.

The Red-Whites gave out a fiery first part of the season. In the championship, Jorge's wards have only 1 draw at the start and 6 wins in a row - before the pause, they put the squeeze on Wisela in the second half (2-0), while in the Europa League they have 2 wins out of 2. The Horta brothers and company are very good in attack, they show bright and dynamic football at good speeds, so the champion can clearly create difficulties at Dragao, if they have not lost their skills during a pause. The team has fewer international footballers, which is also an advantage of the visitors on the eve of this clash.
The visitors had scored in 4 of the last 5 head-to-heads of the teams. Now an excellent springboard has been created for its passage again. At this stage of the season, Porto concede quite a lot, is not always consistent, and the international footballers did not rest and did not fully prepare for the resumption of the championship in the camp of the team, while the visitors have one of the brightest attacking teams at the beginning of the season, excellent conditions and even a goal in the goal of Porto is clearly Braga in its current state is able to organize, because the champion does not inspire confidence.
Prediction for the match: Braga to score – yes.
