2012-11-07 - SC Braga vs Manchester United

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

Manchester United goes into this match knowing that a win can seal their place into the next round if they get the win here after beating Galatasaray, Cluj and Braga at Old Trafford. The Red Devils will even have two games to spare if they get the win here tonight.

Sir Alex Ferguson decided to leave the likes of Darren Fletcher and Paul Scholes for this match when they travelled to Braga. Ferguson knows it is foolish to under-estimate the home side as they have a good record against English sides.

For the record, Braga did not concede a goal in their wins over Birmingham City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Portsmouth during the last five years.

This alone will give the Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro a lot of motivation to motivate his boys as they will host Manchester United for the first time in their stadium.

As it is now Braga are third in the group with three points and are just behind Cluj and ahead of Galatasaray as they are battling a three way fight for second spot.

Team News :

Braga Team News :
Douglao (thigh) returned to action at the weekend after missing Braga's last three matches and is et to start once again. However, the likes of Paulo Vinicius, Ismaily, Paulo Cesar, Carlao and Djamal are out with injuries.

Manchester United Team News :
Fletcher and Scholes have not travelled with the side as they have been kept behind for this weekend's Premier League fixture.

Fellow midfielder Nick Powell appeared to have sat out on Tuesday morning but was included in the travelling party along with defender Chris Smalling, who has been making progress in training in his rehabilitation from a broken metatarsal and may be in line for his first appearance of the season tonight.

However the likes of Phil Jones (back and knee), Nemanja Vidic and Shinji Kagawa (both knee) are all out of this clash.

Predictions :

Go for Manchester United to get the win and give the the -1/2 ball.
