As Braga and Benfica square off once more, the memory of Braga's 1-0 win in their National cup meeting from 4 months ago still lingers. Braga come into this match following a defeat to Casa Pia on May 10, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance, although they have been unable to secure a victory in their past three games. If they aim to regain control of matches, defensive adjustments will be necessary, given that their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in three consecutive matches.
