Team News

Braga
Napoli
  • The hosts should have no injury concerns for their Champions League opener.
  • Pierluigi Gollini should be the visitors' only absentee here.
  • Rudi Garcia could be tempted to make a change or two for this one.

Prediction

  • Braga were beaten comfortably at Farense on Saturday and will be looking to get back to winning ways, with no better time to do so than in their first Champions League group game for more than 10 years.
  • The Portuguese side have taken seven points from their first five league matches, and sit eighth in the table.
  • Last season's champions Napoli started well under new boss Rudi Garcia, but have struggled in recent weeks.
  • A draw away to Genoa on Saturday followed the home defeat to Lazio two weeks earlier, and the Gli Azzurri currently find themselves fifth in Serie A, on seven points.
  • Both sides will be hoping for a reaction to the weekend's results, but an away win looks the likely outcome here.
