AVS preview: Looking to arrest the slide
AVS started their first season in the Primeira Liga very well but over the last month, they have started to slide down the division. The threat of relegation is now looming so they are going to need to start picking up wins again if they are to retain their place in the top flight. Finding form at home could be key to that, starting on Sunday.

Amine El Ouazzani has settled in well to life at Braga since making the move from Guingamp in the French second tier in the summer. The jump up in quality hasn't fazed him too much and he is currently on seven goals in all competitions. At the same time, he is currently on his driest run of the season and is need of a goal on Sunday night.
