SC Braga closes the year with a visit to Casa Pia, on the 15th round, on Saturday at 6 pm. Beginning of 2024 with high difficulty games. Squad rotation should continue to be Artur Jorge’s plan
The Braga fans face Casa Pia, away, on the 15th round, on Saturday at 6 pm, in what is the last game of the calendar year for Artur Jorge’s team. A match that precedes a completely crazy month of January, in terms of the density of the calendar and the competitiveness of the games that the team will have ahead, and at the end (23rd and 27th, in Leiria) there is still the final four of the Cup of the League, for which they secured qualification last Saturday, with the victory (3-1) in Madeira, against Nacional.
Taking into account this meeting and the work carried out by Artur Jorge during this season, new changes in the eleven are to be expected for the visit to the geese’s stronghold. The 51-year-old coach has invested heavily in rotation, as the quality of the squad and the density of the calendar require it. Before entering 2024, SC Braga intends to remain in the front places, returning the three-point gap to 5th place, and if it is possible to overtake those ahead of them.
Thus, at the Rio Maior municipal stadium, Matheus returns to goal (Hornicek defended in Madeira), however, the defensive quartet must remain with Vìctor Gómez on the right, Fonte and Niakaté in the central positions and Cristian Borja on the left. In midfield, only João Moutinho should remain in the eleven, André Horta and Pizzi give way to Rodrigo Zalazar and Álvaro Djaló.
With the introduction of the Spanish striker who occupies the far right, Ricardo Horta occupies the most offensive position in midfield, giving more central support to the striker who will continue to be Simon Banza. Bruma will also remain on the left of the attack. This is the likely eleven for the trip to Casa Pia.
Everything to guarantee three points before a very demanding start to the year. In the 16th round (January 6), there is a Minho derby, at home, against rival Vitória de Guimarães, followed by the trip to the Estádio da Luz to face Benfica in the round of 16 of the Portuguese Cup and the trip to FC Porto’s stronghold for the 17th round of the League. A full-throttle entry into 2024 for Artur Jorge’s team.
