🗞️ Team News: Braga
The Braga manager Carlos Vicens has no fitness worries whatsoever ahead of this clash owing to a completely healthy group ready to go.
It looks as if Os Arcebispos will probably make use of the 3-4-3 system in the match, handing starts to Lukas Hornicek, Victor Gomez, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Bright Arrey-Mbi, Mario Dorgeles, Florian Grillitsch, Jean-Baptiste Gorby, Leonardo Lelo, Rodrigo Zalazar, Pau Victor and Ricardo Horta.
ℹ️ Team News: Moreirense
Owing to a fully injury-free group to pick from, the Moreirense boss Vasco Botelho da Costa doesn’t have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this clash.
We’re of the thinking that Os verdes e brancos appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 system, settling for Andre Ferreira, Dinis Pinto, Gilberto Batista, Maracas, Kiko, Bernardo Martins, Mateja Stjepanovic, Alan, Diogo Travassos, Guilherme Schettine and Landerson.
💡 Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Braga will more than likely score at least once when they face Moreirense, who won’t find it easy to break down their defence.
We’re therefore expecting to see a pretty comfortable 2-0 win for Braga by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
