The Primeira Liga game at Estádio Municipal de Braga on Saturday sees hosts Braga take on guests Desportivo Aves. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
Braga will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 4-3 Primeira Liga loss in their previous game against Rio Ave. We think that Os Arcebispos will possibly use the 4-4-2 system in the match, handing starts to Matheus Lima, Pedro Amador, Diogo Viana, David Carmo, Bruno Viana, Wenderson Galeno, João Palhinha, Fransergio, Francisco Trincão, Ricardo Horta and Paulinho.
Wallace (Muscle Injury), Vítor Tormena (Muscle Injury) and Eduardo (Unknown Injury) won’t be playing for Braga boss Custódio Castro. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Rolando and Ricardo Esgaio.
Possible Braga team for the game against Desportivo Aves
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Moreirense in Primeira Liga competition, Desportivo Aves and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here. It’s our belief that Aves will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Fabio Szymonek, Jailson, Bruno Morais, Oumar Diakhite, Afonso, Estrela, Aaron Tshibola, Rúben Macedo, Rúben Oliveira, Kelvin Boateng and Marius Mouandilmadji.
Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Desportivo Aves manager Nuno Manta Santos to be concerned with. Andrej Simunec (Ankle problems) won’t be playing here.
