Fiorentina-Braga: the probable formations

Fiorentina-Braga: the probable formations

Fiorentina hosts Braga in the return leg of the Conference League round of 16. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. at the Franchi. The Viola are with one foot in the round of 16 by virtue of their comforting success in the first leg in which they thrashed the Portuguese (0-4) with a poker.

Italiano is intent on making a few changes starting with the goal where Sirigu will make his debut. In defense out Milenkovic due to injury and Venuti due to disqualification: room for Dodò and Martinez Quarta. In the midfield Mandragora is expected to rest Amrabat, while in attack space is given to Cabral with Ikoné and Kouame on his sides.

Petrescu, on the other hand, is expected to field the same eleven as in the first leg, except for two changes: in defense Tormena is disqualified and will be replaced by Oliveira; in attack Banza could take Ruiz’s place.

Likely lineups.

FIORENTINA (4-3-3): Sirigu; Dodò, Martinez Quarta, Ranieri, Biraghi; Barak, Mandragora, Duncan; Ikonè, Cabral, Kouame. All. Italian

BRAGA (4-2-3-1): Matheus; Gomez, Oliveira, Niakatè, Sequeira; Racic, Castro; Medeiros, A. Horta, R. Horta; Banza. All. Jorge
