📋 Team News: Braga

Fran Navarro (unknown injury), Jonatás Noro (Achilles tendon rupture) and Roger (Muscle injury) will be missing for Braga gaffer Carlos Carvalhal.

We are thinking that Os Arcebispos could make use of the 4-4-1-1 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Lukas Hornicek, Victor Gomez, Sikou Niakate, Paulo Oliveira, Francisco Chissumba, Gabri Martinez, Carvalho, Uros Racic, Ricardo Horta, Rodrigo Zalazar and Amine El Ouazzani.

🗞️ Team News: AVS

It’s our belief that AVS seem most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 system, choosing Guillermo Ochoa, Tomas Tavares, Ignacio Rodriguez, Aderllan Santos, Eric Veiga, Jaume Grau, Gustavo Assuncao, Lucas Fernandes, John Mercado, Ze Luis and Vasco Lopes.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Braga certainly have the ability to get the win and a possible clean sheet when they play AVS, who may well find it hard to get a goal of their own.

We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 2-0 winning score for Braga at the end of the match.
