FC Bayern München's preparations for Thursday's UEFA Cup meeting with SC Braga are being hampered as Martín Demichelis, Lukas Podolski and Daniel Van Buyten all struggle with injuries.

[Dr.Phil]

hopefully @ least Demichelis can recover in time

Lell to the rescue!

And let's hope for a win because there is nothing like beating a portugese team!

do i smell Lell playing CB with an introduction of Sagnol back into the starting 11??? :rolleyes:

[nekkibasara]

Probably, this is how Lahm was brought back to match fitness.

[Dr.Phil]

Aw forgot Lell could play CB. Seems like we could play Sagnol

-------------Kahn----------------
Sagnol---Lell-----Lucio-------Lahm
---Van Bommel----Ze Roberto-----
Altıntop----------------------Ribery
---------Toni----Klose-------------

Not bad. Strong lineup so we dont mess around like last Uefa game.

The coach ha praised VB for his last game so I think he will start unfortunately...

Van Buyten out with injury

Braga has a neat stadium


lets win this!

[Der Eiserne Kanzler]

FCB looked better, although still shaky, against Wolfsburg. Placing Van Buyten back into the defender position, rather than midfielder, appeared to be a good decision. He is a tall, powerful force on set plays (remember he saved FCB last spring in the first leg again AC Milan). Nonetheless, FCB still misses the play of Lucio and Schweinsteiger. Hopefully they can build on last weekend's win, get back to early season form, and win this game easily (9and not in the last 5 minutes).

Best UEFA Cup game of the Week!!!!!!!

German Giants Bayern Munich to play against a very ambitious SC Braga who have been competing for the Portuguese Liga Title.

I expect a good game from Both. Expect Braga to counter for 90 Minutes with Portuguese Winger Ze Manel back from an injury and with Roland Linz and Joao Tomas back into the line-up expect a hard fought and entertaining game. With Peruvian International Alberto "El Mudo" Rodriguez and Paulo Jorge playing CB the Bayern Strikers will have a tough time in Braga.

All in All, Bayern are going to have a hard time. Braga are 50 times better than Belenenses and have proved that on Several Occtions such as their 3-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon and their 4-0 thrashing of Hammarby.

My Predicition:

SC Braga 2- Bayern 1

Im am trieing to keep in non bias but to play in Braga is a BitS%

I can imagine it isn't easy.... kick ass stadium btw!!! Best of luck.

Shame this game isn't on GolTv... they are showing the Tottenham match.

[ForeverRed]

This could be our most difficult game so far this season. Braga is very dangerous and playing in Portugal against a team that is so attack oriented will be difficult.

The only way to counter this is to attack from the getgo and keep possesion.

According to FCB.de

Probable line-ups:

SC Braga: Paulo Santos - João Pereira, Rodríguez, Paulo Jorge, César Peixoto - Madrid, Brum - João Pinto, Jorginho, Wender - Linz

Bayern Munich: Kahn - Lell, Lucio, Van Buyten, Lahm - Altintop, Zé Roberto, Van Bommel, Ribéry - Klose, Toni

Referee: Jonas Eriksson (Sweden)

[Chila Kahn]
