THE PREDICTION
Sporting Braga’s season ended poorly with a 0-0 away at Portimonense on Wednesday night and they will have to find some way of refreshing themselves sin time for this final if they are to have any chance. Benfica finished the Primeira Liga season as one of the form teams in the division, securing the Champions League qualifier place in third - a full 12 points above Braga. Benfica are seven matches unbeaten and have won 13 of their last 15 games to suggest they could romp to victory here if Sporting Braga do not come with a new mentality. Braga won two of the three meetings with Benfica this year in the league and League Cup but Benfica took the most recent meeting 0-2 away from home back in March and their recent 4-3 madcap win over Sporting Lisbon suggests their momentum is fairly unstoppable here. Last season’s runners-up, Benfica, should be able to lift this trophy with an outright victory and you could add over 2.5 goals in this one for a valuable combination.
