League leaders Porto welcome fourth place Braga to Estadio do Dragão for this matchday 14 encounter in the Liga Portugal. The home team are on 35 points from their 13 matches while Braga are on 25 points from the same number of matches. Porto are in top spot by virtue of a better goal difference than the defending champions Sporting. They will be bitterly disappointed after losing their Champions league match against Atletico Madrid when all they needed was a draw to see them through. Porto sole focus will now be on reclaiming the league title but they face a tricky opponent in Braga. They lost their last match against them and know anything except three points could see them slip to second spot. Porto have only lost twice in their last 18 home matches and both those defeats were in the Champions League.

Braga currently occupy fourth position which would see them qualify for the Europa league. They are six points behind third placed Benfica and a good run will see them possibly challenge for a Champions League spot. Their last match saw then draw 1-1 with Crvena Zvezda in the Europa league, a result that was enough to see them through to the knockout stages of the competition. They are in good form losing only one of their last five matches with three wins and a draw. Braga have only lost once away from home in the league this season.
