- F. Carvalho

Braga host Gent at the Estadio Municipal de Braga in a Conference League fixture that carries genuine weight for both clubs at this stage of the group phase.
Braga arrive at this game in difficult domestic form. Franclim Carvalho's side have lost three of their last five matches, including a 3-0 defeat to FC Copenhagen in their previous Conference League outing. A run of three consecutive losses across all competitions will have sharpened the urgency around this fixture.
Gent travel to Portugal in a different frame of mind. Rik De Mil's side beat AGF 1-0 in their last Conference League match and have won three of their last five games across all competitions. The Belgian side carry momentum into this trip.
Braga's struggles in Liga Portugal have been well documented, with defeats to Sporting CP and Gil Vicente compounding a turbulent period. European competition now offers the clearest route to a positive result and a lift in confidence.
Gent's recent record includes wins over Zulte Waregem and Standard Liege in the Belgian First Division A, pointing to a side that has found consistency in front of goal. De Mil will expect his team to carry that form into Portugal.

Form
Braga head into this match with a record of one win, one draw, and three losses from their last five outings across all competitions. Their most recent result was a 1-2 defeat to Gil Vicente in Liga Portugal, and they also lost 3-0 to FC Copenhagen in the Conference League. Earlier in the sequence, a 1-3 loss to Sporting CP compounded a difficult run. The one positive was a 1-0 win over Estoril, though Braga have conceded eight goals across these five matches.
Gent's last five matches show three wins, one draw, and one loss. Their most recent Conference League outing ended in a 1-0 victory over AGF, and they also beat Zulte Waregem 2-0 away in the Belgian First Division A. A 3-3 cup defeat to Union Rochefortoise is the only blemish on an otherwise solid recent run. Gent have scored seven goals and conceded six across those five fixtures.
Head-to-Head Record
The two clubs have met twice previously, both in the Europa League group stage in 2016. Gent hosted Braga in November of that year, with the match ending 2-2, while the reverse fixture in Braga in September finished 1-1. The head-to-head record is evenly balanced, with neither side having beaten the other across those two meetings.
