Braga will entertain Pacos Ferreira at the Estadio Municipal de Braga in the Taca da Liga group stage on Sunday (December 11).
Braga have already secured their place in the next round, thanks to wins in their first two games. They beat Trofense 3-0 in their campaign opener and beat Casa Pia 1-0, thanks to Vítor Manuel Carvalho Oliveira's strike.
