📋 Team News: Braga

The Braga manager Artur Jorge will be grateful to have no fitness worries at all ahead of this game thanks to a fully injury-free squad available to choose from.

In all likelihood, Os Arcebispos should line up in a 4-2-3-1 system for this one with Matheus, Victor Gomez, Jose Fonte, Sikou Niakate, Cristian Borja, Carvalho, Rodrigo Zalazar, Alvaro Djalo, Joao Moutinho, Ricardo Horta and Simon Banza.

📋 Team News: Union Berlin

Union Berlin manager Nenad Bjelica has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Danilho Doekhi (Knock), Leonardo Bonucci (muscular problems) and Sheraldo Becker (unknown injury) are not ready for selection.

From our viewpoint, Union seem most likely to elect for a 3-5-2 system, choosing Frederik Roennow, Robin Knoche, Diogo Leite, Jerome Roussillon, Josip Juranovic, Lucas Tousart, Rani Khedira, Aissa Laidouni, Robin Gosens, Kevin Volland and Kevin Behrens.

💭 Prediction

We think that Union Berlin will have to play well to break down this Braga lineup who will likely do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We therefore fancy a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Braga after 90 minutes.

We’ll see what happens.
