Braga will be without defenders Adrian Barisic, Sikou Niakate and Diego Rodrigues, while Gabriel Moscardo is suspended and Gabriel Martinez’s fitness is still a concern.

Freiburg have injuries to Patrick Osterhage and Max Rosenfelder, while Jordy Makengo and Philipp Treu are hoping to be match-fit in time to play.

Braga (possible XI): Hornicek; Lagerbielke, Carvalho, Leonardo Lelo; Gomez, Gorby, Grillitsch, Martinez; Zalazar, Victor, Horta.

Freiburg (possible XI): Atubolu; Treu, Ginter, Lienhart, Makengo; Eggestein, Manzambi; Beste, Suzuki, Grifo; Matanovic.

Verdict

Braga v Freiburg

I am backing Braga to claim a win to nil win as Freiburg have been struggling to score goals in the past two months.
