Further forward, João Moutinho remains a fixture in central midfield after starting all five of Braga's recent games, while Ricardo Horta is expected to continue just behind the front two. Gustaf Lagerbielke looks set to keep his place after starting against Copenhagen, and Bernardo Fontes continues in goal after playing every minute of the last five matches.

KAA Gent

Gent are expected to switch to a back three tonight, having used a 4-3-3 in the 1-0 win over Aarhus. Maksim Paskotši, who made one start at right-back across the last five games, is expected to start ahead of the more regular Mouhamed Ngom, who had three starts on that side.

Mathias Delorge has started and been substituted in every one of those five matches, never later than the 80th minute. Further forward, Tiago Araújo, Michel-Ange Balikwisha and Momodou Sonko have all started each of the last five games, while Davy Roef has also started throughout that run in goal.
