--------------------------------------
Roma - DLLDLW
Roma are hoping to win again after their last result, the 4-1 Serie A success over Lecce.
In that match, Roma managed 59% possession and 23 shots at goal with 9 of them on target. For Roma, goals were scored by Alexis Saelemaekers (13'), Gianluca Mancini (59'), Niccolò Pisilli (66') and Manu Koné (86'). For their opponents, Lecce got 3 shots at goal with 1 on target. Nikola Krstović (40') was the scorer for Lecce.
It has been seldom in recent games that Roma have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Roma have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 10 goals along the way. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, of course.
Artem Dovbyk (Fever) and Zeki Çelik (Adductor injury) are unavailable for Roma manager Claudio Ranieri.
We are thinking that i Giallorossi should use a 3-4-2-1 formation in the match, utilising Mile Svilar, Gianluca Mancini, Mats Hummels, Evan NDicka, Zeki Celik, Manu Koné, Leandro Paredes, Angeliño, Stephan El Shaarawy, Alexis Saelemaekers and Paulo Dybala.
Braga - WDLWWD
Last time out, Braga drew 2-2 in the Primeira Liga tie with Estoril.
In that game, Braga managed 48% possession and 16 shots on goal with 7 on target. The only player to score for Braga was Bruma (16', 56'). At the other end, Estoril had 11 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Alejandro Marqués (68') and Gonçalo Costa (82') scored for Estoril.
In their previous six clashes, Braga have helped themselves to a total of 11 goals. Braga have also managed to score in every single one of those games. During those fixtures, their defenders have had 8 goals go into their own net.
Braga manager Carlos Carvalhal has some current player fitness concerns. Rodrigo Zalazar (Muscle injury) and Paulo Oliveira (Calf injury) won’t be making appearances.
It’s our belief that Os Arcebispos could decide to utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup by sending out Matheus Lima, João Ferreira, Sikou Niakaté, Bright Arrey-Mbi, Roger Fernandes, Vitor Carvalho, Joao Moutinho, Gabri Martinez, Ricardo Horta, Bruma and Amine El Ouazzani.
Roma possible starting lineup:
Svilar; Mancini, Hermoso, Ndicka; Abdulhmaid, Le Fee, Paredes, Zalewski; Pellegrini, Pisilli; Shomurodov
Braga possible starting lineup:
Matheus; Ferreira, Niakate, Arrey-Mbi; Fernandes, Carvalho, Moutinho, Gomez; Horta, Bruma; Ouazzani

AS Roma have a good recent record against SC Braga and have won two out of the three matches played between the two teams, with the other game ending in a draw.
AS Roma have won their last two matches against SC Braga on the European stage and secured an aggregate 5-1 victory against them in the round of 32 of the 2020-21 Europa League season.
SC Braga have lost each of their last seven matches against teams from Italy in major European competitions, with their most recent defeats coming against Napoli in the UEFA Champions League.
AS Roma have won eight of their last 10 matches at home in the UEFA Europa League and have lost only one of their last 20 such games in the competition.
Prediciton: Roma 2-1 Braga
Home advantage can make all the difference for a brittle Roma side that often falters when venturing outside of the Eternal City. The hosts should prevail, but Braga are capable opponents with a handful of proven performers at Europa League level - it could be a very close contest.
