Braga v Besiktas Team News

Hosts Braga are in top form at the group’s summit (W2 D1). They are yet to taste defeat in the Europa League so far in an impressive campaign. Their wins have come on the road and the Portuguese outfit will want to give their home fans something to smile about.

Their lethal forwards have been handy at the opposition’s goal-scoring over two goals in 6 out of 7 previous matches. Their defence is not as sharp and the side have kept only one clean sheet across a similar period.

Besiktas, on the other hand, are yet to taste victory in the group stages so far after three matches (L3). Their last win on the continental stage being in the qualifiers. In addition to that, the Turkish side has conceded an average 2 goals per game in the Champions League and have the worst defensive record in the group where unsurprisingly, they sit bottom.

Besiktas coach Abdullah Avci is a man under siege both on the continental stage and domestically where they sit a miserable 8^th. The tactician needs to regroup the sides and this would be the perfect chance to kick-start their rejuvenation.

Coming into this fixture on the back of a 2-1 win at Antalyaspor, anything less than a win here and their Champions League curtains will surely be drawn. It should be captivating to watch the hosts passionate play come against the visitor’s very hope of survival.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Braga have every reason to believe coming into this clash with a clean bill of health. No injury concerns for the home side.

Besiktas too should not have much to worry about with G. N’koudou, D. Pereira and D. Tokoz all doubtful with minorr injuries.

Braga vs Besiktas Predictions

Braga are set to carry the day. Even with their own defensive frailties, they come up against a weak opponent that should not really present any problems. That notwithstanding, the Portuguese side are resolute at home and have only lost once in their last 11 home fixtures. Fancy them putting several past the visiting Turks, and they will do just that.
