Preview
Braga and Benfica face at Estádio Municipal de Braga, in a match for the 11th round of the Primeira Liga. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 7 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 26‑10‑2014, in a match for the Primeira Liga, Sporting Braga won by (2‑1). The goals of the match were scored by Éder (28' ) and Salvador Agra (81' ), for Braga, and by Talisca (2' ), for Benfica. Although this is a match between 3rd and 4th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 3rd best in home matches and the 11th best in away matches.

Analysis Braga

The home team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 20 points won, after 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Belenenses, by (4‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against União Madeira, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually plays better at home, where they have won 13 points, against only 7 points in away matches. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got a home win against Slovan Liberec by (2‑1).

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 5 home matches.

Braga come motivated to this match after a 2-1 victory, at home, against Slovan, to the Europe League. The home team have a great performance in the quick transitions, mainly by their wingers' capacity to unbalance the opponent's defensive. 
One of their best qualities are the dead ball situations, due to the height of their players. 
So, against weak opponents, they can control the opponent's midfielder, keeping the ball possession. 

Confirmed Lineup: Stanislav Kritsyuk, Baiano, Djavan, Willy Boly, Ricardo Ferreira, Luiz Carlos, Mauro, Rafa Silva, Alan, Nikola Stojiljković, Koka.
Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.

Analysis Benfica

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 6 wins and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Tondela, by (0‑4). In the last match, they won in a home match against Boavista, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 3 points in away matches and 15 at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 5 conceded at home, against 4 goals scored and 2 conceded in away matches. In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got an away tie against Astana by (2‑2). In the last 10 away matches Benfica has won 4, tied 1 and lost 5. In 9 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 5 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (0'‑15').

Benfica come discouraged to this match after a 2-2 draw against Astana, to the group stage of the Champions League. Nico Gaitán seems to be ready to play after an injury period, however, Luisão, Salvio, Sílvio and Nelson Semedo continue injured. Andreas Samaris won't play because he's punished. 
So, it's foreseen that Renato Sanches, that has played against Astana, continue to be the bet of the "Red" coach. 

Confirmed Lineup: Júlio César, André Almeida, Eliseu, Jardel, Lisandro López, Renato Sanches, Pizzi, Ljubomir Fejsa, Nicolás Gaitán, Gonçalo Guedes, Konstantinos Mitroglou.
Coach: R. Schmidt.
