Teams information

Fourth in the Liga Portugal Bwin, Braga are in an unstable phase this season, having lost two of their last five games. They have scored five goals and conceded six. In the current season they have 18 wins, seven draws and 11 losses in 36 games. The coach is the Portuguese Carlos Carvalhal, who is often speculated in Brazilian clubs but never worked in South America. Ukrainian Yuriy Vernydub is in charge of Sheriff, who played only one game in 2022 because the local league does not return until March. This makes 17 matches throughout the season, 15 of them in continental competitions. In all, they are 10 wins, four draws, and three losses.
