Sporting Braga versus Chaves
Braga will try to score their first league win when they meet Chaves at Estadio Municipal on Saturday, after rolling through TSC in the Champions League third qualifying round.

To make matters even easier for the visitors, Artur Jorge has a complete squad at his disposal.
Meanwhile, Chaves failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Rio Ave, and they face another uphill battle against Braga. Braga defeated Chaves 2-1 in their previous match at the venue, and we anticipate that history will repeat itself.
