Match Previews

Coming from a 2-2 away draw at Estrela last Sunday... Alberto Rodríguez (r)(def) could be the surprise on the eleven... Moisés (r)(def), Paulo Jorge (sp)(def) and Meyong (k)(att) injured... Frechaut (sp)(mid) part of this 20 players' call-up... Braga are coming from a 2-2 away draw at Estrela and are currently 4th placed in the table, with 36 points. The Arsenalists beat Standard Liège in the previous round of the UEFA Cup and they are aware PSG are a more difficult side. Let's see how they will behave at Parc des Princes (they already did a very fine work at Milan's San Siro this season). Centre-backs Moisés and Paulo Jorge are injured, but the good news might be the return of Peruvian centre-back Alberto Rodríguez to the starting eleven, as it seems he has got some chances to play after recovering his shoulder injury. He might not be on his ideal match practice but he surely increases the defence's experience - Stélvio is a makeshift centre-back and is not that reliable; Frechaut is also part of the 20 players' call-up after a back injury. The biggest absence is probably striker Meyong - the Cameroonian had a toe surgery and will be out for the rest of the season. This way, Paulo César will join Rentería up front, whilst César Peixoto (left) (training with some cautions) and Alan (right) will probably be the wingers. Goalkeeper Eduardo committed a poor mistake against Estrela this Sunday. Is he on his best form? The same question goes to Colombian forward Rentería, who wasted some good scoring occasions up front at Estrela. Evaldo, Vandinho, César Peixoto and Rentería will miss the second leg if they are booked at Paris. Attacking midfielder Luis Aguiar has been training with a few cautions regarding a thigh injury but he should be ready to start. Paulo César should partner Rentería up front. "It's important to score goals at Paris", said Jorge Jesus.
