Team News

AVS Futebol SAD
Braga
  • Gustavo Assunção will miss out as he faces a match ban after being sent off last time around. Aburjania should replace him.
  • Zé Luís should get the nod over Rodrigo Ribeiro after making an impact from the bench last time around.
  • Paulo Oliveira and Zalazar are the only injury concerns for the viistors.
  • Robson Bambu might face his former club if Carvalhal decides to ring the changes at the back.

Prediction

  • AFS were eliminated from the Portuguese Cup in incredible fashion as they lost to Lusitano de Évora, a 4th tier team. Daniel Ramos will try to avoid losing two in a row on his second match in charge of the hosts.
  • The International Break seems to have worked wonders for SC Braga, who managed two convincing wins. The last of which was against Hoffenheim, 3-0, and will give Carlos Carvalhal's men a boost of motivation.
  • AFS come into this match on the back of three defeats in four games and will be under pressure to pick up points against a technically superior team. This pressure shouldn't help the team and it wouldn't be surprising if Braga capitalize on that to get all three points.
