Latest AS Roma vs Braga team information
With Roma aiming to improve their Serie A standings, where they are currently bottom of the table, coach Claudio Ranieri could make changes to the line-up from the match against Lecce. Paulo Dybala and Mats Hummels, who have been injured frequently, could be rested, while Nicola Zalewski, Mario Hermoso and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini are candidates to replace them. Bryan Cristante and Zeki Celik are out injured, while it remains to be seen whether Artem Dovbyk will play. Otherwise, Ranieri could use a false nine or Eldor Shomurodov.
As for Braga, coach Carlos Carvalhal has yet to find a stable lineup, and the selections could change. João Moutinho, Ricardo Horta and Bruma usually play behind Amine El Ouazzani. Bruma has been involved in eight goals in his last 11 European games, including three this season. Paulo Oliveira (calf) and Rodrigo Zalazar (muscle) are Braga's main injuries ahead of the trip to Rome.

Latest football commentary on AS Roma vs Braga
Roma earned a valuable 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in London in their last Europa League game, drawing twice to open up a two-point gap on the relegation zone. Evan Ndicka scored the first equaliser and Mats Hummels, despite committing a penalty, equalised in second-half stoppage time. With just six points, Roma are still far from reaching their potential and will have to play a playoff to qualify for the last 16 if things don't improve.
Roma also struggled in Serie A but ended a four-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over Lecce. Three second-half goals gave Claudio Ranieri his first win of his third spell in charge. Roma will be looking to build on their impressive home record in the Europa League, with eight wins in their last 10 games and just one loss in their last 20.
Braga, on the other hand, lost to Roma twice in the 2020-21 season (0-2 and 1-3), but have now moved above Roma in the standings this season, with a 3-0 win over Hoffenheim. Braga are currently 18th with seven points from four games. Bruma, Roger Fernandes and Vitor Carvalho scored in the win over Hoffenheim, keeping their top-eight hopes alive. However, they are three points behind the top four in the Primeira Liga and must focus on Europe, where they will finish the group stage against Lazio early next year.
