Europa League: Roma vs Braga – Probable line-ups and where to watch

Roma are going in search of their second consecutive victory when they host Braga in the Europa League in the early kick-off slot on Wednesday evening.

The Giallorossi are in desperate need of points in the Europa League table, currently sitting in 21st place with six points from their first five matches in the competition this season.

Roma are coming in off the back of a 4-1 victory over Lecce in Serie A: Ranieri’s first victory since he returned to the Stadio Olimpico in November.

Pre-match reports suggest that Paulo Dybala is not expected to start against Braga on Thursday evening, nor Tommaso Baldanzi. Sky Sport Italia report that Alexis Saelemaekers and Nicolo Pisilli will start in the positions behind Artem Dovbyk.

Kick-off is due at 17.45 GMT.

Roma (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Celik, Kone, Paredes, Angelino; Pisilli, Saelemaekers; Dovbyk.
