Hello and welcome to Eurosport's coverage of the Champions League Group H match between Braga and Galatasaray at the Estadio Municipal de Braga. If you want to contribute to the conversation, get in touch via Twitter to@nickaroyle.

Eboue, Riera and Elmander are all former Premier League players. There is a minute's silence at the start, but for what I did not hear.

Lots of the Galatasaray fans are shirtless. Obviously they are the Newcastle of the East.

This is the cool stadium built into a rockface, remember. Galatasaray are in white, Braga in a most unfetching lime green.

The Galatasaray fans are bunched up in their end, while there are thousands of empty spaces around the rest of the ground!

A club record seven Braga players featured in Portugal's 2-2 friendly draw with Gabon in Libreville last month: Helder Barbosa, Custodio, Beto, Ruben Micael, Ruben Amorim, Hugo Viana and Eder.

Umut Bulut (11) and Burak (13) have scored 24 of Galatasaray's 41 goals in all competitions this season.

Burak this season become the first Turkish player to represent four different clubs in the UEFA Champions League. He has previously featured for Besiktas, Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor.

Braga's Champions League campaign can be summed up by one game. They lost 2-0 to CFR 1907 Cluj on Matchday One despite having 35 shots, 23 on target.

Paulo Vinícius is back in the Braga side having recovered from a thigh complaint but fellow defender Douglao is suspended. Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera has passed a late fitness test on a thigh complaint, but defender Cris has failed to recover from a calf injury.

Fatih Terim's men have posted two victories and a draw after losing their first two games, which included a 2-0 defeat to Braga at Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi on 2 October.

Braga's Alan and Galatasaray's Burak Yılmaz are the competition's joint top scorers with five goals alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Galatasaray's Matchday Four win at Cluj was their first away win in the Champions League since September 2002.

No more than 10,000 supporters are expected at the 32,000 capacity ground tonight, and that includes the 2,000 away fans travelling.

SC BRAGA: Quim, Coelho, Elderson, Ismaely, Paulo Vinicius, Ruben Amorim, Mossoro, Leandro Salino, Custodio, Alan, Eder...Subs: Beto, Baiano, Aníbal Capela, Hugo Viana, Paulo Cesar, Helder Barbosa, Carlao.///GALATASARAY: Muslera, Eboue, Semih Kaya, Nounkeu, Riera, Hamit Altıntop, Selcuk Inan, Felipe Melo, Emre Colak, Elmander, Burak Yılmaz...Subs: Ufuk Ceylan, Cris, Hakan Balta, Aydın Yılmaz, Kurtuluş, Amrabat, Umut Bulut.

Fourth-placed Braga cannot qualify for the Europa League, with just three points from five games. Braga coach Jose Peseiro insists that his side nonetheless need to get a result from the final game against Galatasaray. "This game is important in every sense, financial and sporting," he said. "Since we have failed in our objectives in the Champions League, we have to be good tomorrow. We have to win and show we have the class to be in this competition".

Galatasaray are second in Group H on seven points, ahead of CFR 1907 Cluj on the head-to-head record. The Turkish side will automatically qualify with a win in Portugal or if they match Cluj's result at Manchester United.
