Cardiff City continue their pre-season games on Wednesday with a game against Braga in Portugal.

Below are a few details on our opponents.


Braga finished 3rd in the top tier of Portugal last season. This means they will enter the Champions League at the third qualifying round.

They have finished in the top four in each of the last five seasons.

They are currently managed by Artur Jorge. As a player, he made over 200 appearances for the club.

Braga have certainly splashed the cash this window, spending, a reported, €17 million so far.

Their biggest signing has been winger Bruma. Having spent the season on loan from Fenerbache, he scored four and assisted six in 16 games, leading to his full time acquisition from the Turkish club.

Braga have bolstered their midfield with the signings of Rodrigo Zalazar from Schalke and Vitor Carvalho from Gil Vicente. They have also bought in reinforcements at the back. Bluebirds fans may be familiar with the name Jose Fonte, who spent many seasons with Southampton in the Premier League.

The only major outgoing at the club has been winger Iuri Medeiros. The Spaniard scored ten goals in the league last season, but has now moved to UAE side Al-Nasr SC.

Underway in Portugal

good test against a champions league team

Kieron Evans with a chance cleared off the Braga line good build up by colwill

City close to opening the scoring.

Good quick passing and Evans does well but the defender clears well before Colwill can get a tap in

Djalo blazes a free-kick over the bar.

Braga on top early on but City coping well enough

Evans and Adams started well.

Evans and Adams started well.

yeah adams looks a breath of fresh air tonight exactly what we been missing

No sound anyone else got that problem

Great play again by Evans which leads to Colwill hitting the side netting

Braga go close but the shot is straight at Alnwick

Water break now.

If it’s anything like Mallorca it will be boiling

Big chance for Etete but he blazes it over the bar

Good by Collins in the build up

Is it me or is Colwill looking quicker than usual ?

If it’s anything like Mallorca it will be boiling

Sounds like it is similar weather there to Mallorca and other parts of Europe so they had to have a water break

Is it me or is Colwill looking quicker than usual ?

Playing his part well.

Evans has been our best player and Collins also doing very well

Etete tries to take on an acrobatic shot but can't find the right connection

Alnwick makes a brilliant close range save to deny Braga
