Braga – Napoli preview: Team news, form, and the most likely lineups
Read all the latest information on these two teams here, including our predicted Braga vs Napoli lineups:
Braga
With two wins, one draw, and a couple of losses in the first five rounds of their domestic championship, Braga didn't have the best of start and they showed some inconsistency. However, the team did get to Champions League group stages by beating Panathinaikos in both of their duels, so their fans can be pleased with the start of the season overall. Furthermore, the only injury concern at Braga right now is Sikou Niakate, while the rest of the team is in full fitness.
Braga predicted lineup:
Matheus – Gomez, Fonte, Oliveira, Borja – Musrati, Moutinho – Djalo, Horta, Bruma – Banza
Napoli
After winning the title in Italy last season, their first Serie A title since Maradona was at the club, Napoli is hoping for another successful season. The team started the season in Serie A with two wins, a draw , and a loss. When it comes to team news, Napoli is in good shape with only Pierluigi Gollini currently out with an injury.
Napoli predicted lineup:
Meret – Di Lorenzo, Ostigard, Jesus, Olivera – Lobotka, Zielinski, Anguissa – Politano, Kvartskhelia, Osimhen

Player to watch: Victor Osimhen
Despite numerous rumours about his departure from the club, Victor Osimhen stayed with the latest Italian champions and that is already proving to be a key piece of business for Napoli.
After all, the Nigerian forward started the new season with three goals in four games, continuing his fine form of last season. So, Braga will have to be wary of Osimhen in this match.
