Braga: Form and Statistics

Braga was involved in the UEFA Europa League play-offs last Thursday and had no trouble dismantling the threat of minnows, Lincoln Red Imps, securing a commanding 4-0 away win in the first leg. That result means they are one match away from booking their spot in the league phase.

Regarding their performance in the Primeira Liga, Os Arcebispos have lived up to expectations. In the early stages, they find themselves in the top two in the league standings.

In their most recent match, they were drawn against newly promoted Alverca. It was a walk in the park for Carlos Vicens' men as they secured a comfortable 3-0 victory on the road. That result extended their winning streak in the league to two games.

Braga have suffered a huge blow heading into Sunday's clash against AVS Futebol SAD. Ricardo Horta won't be available after sustaining a thigh injury in Thursday's UEFA Europa League qualifiers clash. Roger will serve as a replacement for Horta. 

Another player that will remain sidelined is Robson Bambu, who is listed as inactive. 

Rodrigo Zalazar has been the home team's top performer this season. He has been directly involved in five goal involvements in the last three appearances, scoring four goals and providing one assist. The 26-year-old midfielder is expected to play an important role for his team this Sunday.

AVS Futebol SAD: Form and Statistics

AVS Futebol SAD are in their second season in the Primeira Liga after avoiding relegation in the previous campaign. However, their start to the 2025-26 season has left much to be desired, indicating they may be involved in another relegation dogfight. 

Four teams are yet to register a point in the current Primeira Liga campaign, and AVS Futebol SAD is one of them. They have lost two consecutive matches and conceded five goals in the process while answering for one.

In their most recent league game, they suffered a 2-0 home defeat against Casa Pia. They managed to get a number of decent shots, but in the end, they lacked the cutting edge to put one past their opponents. Prior to this, they lost 3-1 against FC Arouca in the league opener. 

AVS Futebol SAD: Team News

AVS Futebol SAD has no injury concerns to be worried about and comes into this match with a clean bill of health. The duo of Kobamelo Kodisang and Daniel Rivas remains inactive. 

Head coach Jose Mota has decided to make some changes to the starting lineup that lost against Casa Pia. Angel Algobia and Pedro Lima will sit this one out, making way for Lucas Piazon and Gustavo Assuncao.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Simao; Molina, Devenish, Santos, Kiki; Grau, Assuncao; Akinsola, Piazon, Barbosa; Escobar.

⛔️ Out: Kobamelo Kodisang (inactive), Daniel Rivas (inactive).
