TEAM NEWS

In one of the competition's most competitive groups, both Cluj and Braga have the opportunity of qualifying for the last 16 from Group H with two games remaining.

Manchester United sealed their route to the knockout stages of the Champions League in the last round of matches, but Tuesday night's clash in Romania could go a long way to deciding the eventual composition of the group.

The home side hold the stronger hand heading into the contest as they sit in third place on four points, equal with second-placed Galatasaray, but a point better off than their Portuguese visitors.

Paulo Sergio's side can also boast a mental advantage, having already disposed of Braga in the first match between the two sides back in September, though, they have won just one of their eight home fixtures in the Champions League.

Two goals from Brazil winger Rafael Bastos - who played for Braga back in 2010 - sealed a shock 2-0 victory - their first and only win of the competition to date - and if they can repeat that effort on Tuesday, then, they will be within touching distance of the last 16.

Cluj midfielder Matias Aguirregaray is available after serving a one-match suspension, while Bastos will be suspended if he picks up another booking. Braga, meanwhile, are able to boast a clean bill of health.
