Carlos Vicens aims for a triumphant Victory of Braga over Vila do Conde

Sporting de Braga and 11th-placed Rio Ave are set to face off at Rio Ave Stadium in Vila do Conde on Sunday, in a highly anticipated clash. The fourth-placed Braga currently have 7 points, while Rio Ave have 2 (with one less game played).

Following a 5-1 win over Lincoln in a European match, the Minho team have had only two days to prepare for this game. The coach of Sp. Braga, Silaidopoulos, has promised a "more balanced" team in the clash with Minho, aiming to transform the team into the one they want to be, focusing on a balanced approach to their daily work.

Rio Ave coach Sotiris Silaidopoulos has echoed this sentiment, also promising a "more balanced" team for the game against Sporting de Braga. Grillitsch, an Austrian international, is the latest signing for Rio Ave and is expected to provide stability, control, and game in midfield.

The coach of the Minho team believes that Rio Ave is a difficult rival due to their resources and historical performance against Sporting Braga. The Minho team drew 2-2 at home with the Ave team in their previous encounter.

The game between Sporting de Braga and Rio Ave will be officiated by Fabio Verissimo from the Leiria Football Association. The match is scheduled for 20:30 on Sunday.

Carlos Vicens, the coach of Rio Ave, has emphasized the importance of being mentally prepared for challenges such as wind or strategic surprises from the rival. He wants the players to train to "dominate" in games, which involves many aspects of daily life.

However, Ricardo Horta and Dorgeles are injured and will miss Sunday's game against Sporting de Braga. The coach has noted that the strong wind at Rio Ave Stadium is difficult to prepare for because it can't be simulated.

Despite the transfer market closing on September 2, the coach is satisfied with the squad he has and is aiming to change the recent unfavorable trend at Rio Ave's stadium. The best version of the team is needed to achieve this, according to the coach.

In conclusion, the upcoming match between Sporting de Braga and Rio Ave promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams aiming for a "more balanced" approach and a victory.
