📋 Team News: Famalicão

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Famalicão manager Hugo Oliveira to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Ivan Zlobin (Kidney problems) is out of contention.

In our view, Famalicenses may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for the game and select Lazar Carevic, Rodrigo Pinheiro, Leonardo Realpe, Justin De Haas, Rafa Soares, Mathias De Amorim, Tommie van de Looi, Sorriso, Gustavo Sa, Gil Dias and Simon Elisor.

📋 Team News: Braga

We believe Os Arcebispos seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Lukas Hornicek, Victor Gomez, Paulo Oliveira, Sikou Niakate, Francisco Chissumba, Uros Racic, Joao Moutinho, Ismael Gharbi, Rodrigo Zalazar, Ricardo Horta and Fran Navarro.

🔮 Prediction

When taking everything into account, Famalicão will really need to work well to breach the defence of this Braga lineup who we think will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.

That’s why our selection here is for a very even match with a 0-1 winning score for Braga at the end of the match.

Let’s see what happens.
