Team News

Chaves
Braga
  • With Bruno Langa suspended, José Gomes could return to a 4-3-3 formation, with Sandro Cruz playing at left-back.
  • Guima is back available and will probably return to the the middle of the park, and is likely to replace Kelechi.
  • Issah Abass should also feature here, as he's expected to replace Paulo Victor or Benny out wide.
  • Artur Jorge will have a full squad to pick from on Saturday.
  • Ricardo Horta, with a couple of assists, and Pizzi, who was a standout performer, will be full of confidence here.
  • Simon Banza and Ronny Lopes might start if Artur Jorge decides to make some changes up front.

Prediction

  • GD Chaves lost to Rio Ave FC last time out in a match where they had to play with 10 men for almost an hour. They will look to get their first win of the season on Saturday as they aim for a solid season.
  • SC Braga were able to react from a disappointing defeat in their first Primeira Liga fixture as they beat Backa Topola 4-1, which saw them qualify for the Champions League playoff.
  • The visitors impress at Chaves having claimed a draw and six wins in the last seven matches there. With that in mind, and given that they have a far better team, an away win is expected.
