Braga preview: Heading in the right direction
It's been a rollercoaster of a season for Braga so far, both at home and in Europe but things are starting to settle down and they are now in a good position to push the top three. First things first, they must find a way to get past a stubborn Santa Clara side that are still in fourth position. Could this weekend be the time to do it?
Predicted lineup: Matheus (GK), Ferreira, Niakate, Arrey-Mbi, Fernandes, Moutinho, Carvalho, Gomez, Horta, Ouazzani, Bruma

Estoril preview: Goals are a concern
Estoril's lack of firepower is certainly a concern and if they don't find a way to score more goals on a consistent basis then they could quickly find themselves in the relegation battle. This is even more pressing when you look at their tricky fixture list.
Predicted lineup: Robles (GK), Boma, Alvaro, Bacher, Pina, Holsgrove, Orellana, Garcia, Begraoui, Marques, Carvalho

Player to watch: Ricardo Horta
Ricardo Horta has been an integral part of the Braga squad for a number of years now, but has failed to reach his usual standards so far this season sparking speculation that he perhaps now past his best at the age of 30. Horta has only scored three goals and provided one assist in the league this season, but perhaps he can get going this weekend.
