Porto may have finished third in the league but they were 13 points behind Sporting Lisbon in second. Braga finished fourth but they were 15 points adrift of Porto in third.  Porto won four of their final five league games with the only defeat being by Sporting. Two defeats in a row before that ended any vain hope they had of catching the top two. They have had a more comfortable time in this cup competition and are yet to concede a goal in any of their six games. Braga also had a poor end to their league campaign with one win in the final four games. They did hold on for a Europa League place though but lost to Sporting 4-0 at home on the final day of the season, not a great way to prepare for a cup final.  They beat Sporting on the way to this final winning 4-3 after extra time. This could be a close game but I think Porto have the edge on their rivals and can get the win here.
