Prediction: 3-0
Lincoln Red Imps
Braga and Lincoln Red Imps face each other at Estadio Municipal de Braga in the closing match of Thursday’s program. The Reds rolled over Lincoln 4-0 in Gibraltar, but the Portuguese surely want to record yet another triumph over the minnows. Key forward Ricardo Horta misses out with injury, but Braga boss Carlos Vicens will still have a number of high-profile players to choose from in the return leg.
Juanjo Bezares’ men, on the other hand, face an uphill task in the second leg as Braga are a real force to be reckoned with at home. David faces Goliath at “Estadio Municipal” and anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. As for the visiting side, both Pozo and Munoz are pushing for recalls to the starting XI after coming off the bench in the first leg. Juanjo Bezares should stick to the 4-1-4-1 formation.
Highlighted Team (Braga):
Braga are a Portuguese club that have always been in the shadow of Primeira Liga giants Porto, Benfica and Sporting. Os Minhotos were founded on 19 January, 1921 and they originally played in green and white kits. After the World War II they changed their kits to red and they have been wearing red shirts and white shorts ever since.
Braga play their home games at Estadio Municipal de Braga, the stadium that was opened in December, 2003. Os Minhotos have yet to win the Primeira Liga title, but they finished the 2009/2010 campaign in second position in the standings, just five points behind champions Benfica.
In 2011 Braga participated in the Europa League final, but fellow Portuguese outfit Porto proved to be a big catch for Os Minhotos. Anyhow, that is regarded as the club’s biggest success. Vitoria de Guimaraes are considered Braga’s bitter rivals and the two teams face each other in the Minho derby.
