Team News: Casa Pia
Clau Mendes (sprain), Kiki (unknown injury) and Tchamba (Shoulder injury) won’t be able to feature for Casa Pia manager João Pereira.
We are thinking that Os Gansos (The Geese) should line up in a 3-4-3 formation for the game featuring Patrick Sequeira, Andre Geraldes, Joao Goulart, Leonardo Lelo, Gaizka Larrazabal, Andrian Kraev, Rafael Brito, Fahem Benaissa-Yahia, Pablo, Cassiano and Henrique Pereira.
🗞️
Team News: Braga
From a largely full-strength squad, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Braga boss Carlos Carvalhal to contend with. Jonatás Noro (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be in action.
It’s our belief that Os Arcebispos seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Lukas Hornicek, Victor Gomez, Robson Bambu, Sikou Niakate, Francisco Chissumba, Joao Moutinho, Uros Racic, Ricardo Horta, Rodrigo Zalazar, Ismael Gharbi and Fran Navarro.
🔮
Prediction
We’re of the view that Casa Pia will do well to see themselves scoring against this Braga side who we reckon will be able to grind out a win.
We’ve gone for a 0-1 advantage for Braga when all is said and done.
We’re expecting it to be that close.
