Team News

Braga
Gil Vicente
  • Bruma left for Benfica in midweek and will probably be replaced by Gharbi until the end of the season.
  • El Ouazzani might regain his starting XI spot up front if Carvalhal decides to ring the changes.
  • Rúben Fernandes was sent off last weekend and serves a match ban. Elimbi should replace him.
  • Touré and Mboula will be in competition to feature out wide.

Prediction

  • SC Braga come into this game on the back of three consecutive wins, the last of which came against Moreirense last Monday. The Bracarenses were trailing, but came from behind and scored the winning goal in stoppage time, which should boost morale.
  • Gil Vicente, on the other hand, were unable to keep the lead against Estoril and ended up losing to the 'Canarinhos' at home. They were leaky at the back and will need to improve their defensive process if they want to get something from Sunday's game.
  • Even without Bruma, and despite their poor record at home, Braga should have what it takes to get all three points in front of their supporters.
