Braga will welcome Estoril to the Estadio Municipal de Braga for a Primeira Liga matchday 12 clash on Sunday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Union Berlin in the UEFA Champions League. Robin Gosens put the visitors ahead in the 42nd minute after their hosts were reduced to 10 men. Alvaro Djalo drew the game level six minutes after the break.
Estoril, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 2-1 comeback home win over Mafra in the Taca de Portugal. They went behind to Diogo Almeida's 28th-minute strike but second-half goals from Heriberto Tavares and Cassiano helped them complete the comeback.
Seabra Vasco's side will turn their focus back to the league where their last game saw them dispatch Casa Pia with a 4-0 home win. Braga saw off Arouca with a 1-0 away victory.
The win left them in fourth spot, having garnered 23 points from 11 games. Estoril are 13th with 10 points to show for their efforts in 11 games.
