Braga and Moreirense meet in a Primeira Liga matchday three fixture on Sunday (August 25). The hosts are coming off a 2-1 comeback home win over Rapid Vienna in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League playoff tie on Thursday.
Rapid were reduced to 10 men following Lukas Grgic's second-minute red card. However, they took the lead despite their numerical disadvantage, with Guido Burgstaller putting them ahead in the 25th minute. Vitor Carvalho drew the game level eight minutes later before Rodrigo Zalazar scored Braga's winner in the 77th minute.
The Archbishops will turn their focus back to the league, where their last game saw them win 1-0 at Boavista.
Moreirense, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 3-1 comeback home win over Arouca. David Simao put Araouca ahead in the third minute, while Luis Asue and Alan scored to give Os verdes e brancos ahead by half-time. Madson made sure of the result 20 minutes into the second half.
The victory left them in fourth spot, having garnered maximum points from two games, while Braga are sixth with four points.
