Braga v Cardiff City Live: Kick-off time, team news and score updates from Portugal

Cardiff City's pre-season preparations take an almighty step up tonight when they face Champions League qualifiers Braga.

Erol Bulut's Bluebirds squad touched down in Portugal on Monday with their new signings - Aaron Ramsey, Karlan Grant, Yakou Meite, Dimitrios Goutas and Ike Ugo - all included.

They spent the day yesterday training in the Algarve ahead of tonight's game, which will be a far sterner test than the ones posed by Penybont, The New Saints and Cambridge United so far this summer.

Porto on Saturday will be in the back of Bulut's mind as he thinks about squad rotation and minutes in the legs of his players, but all eyes will be on the Stadium Municipal De Lagos this evening for what promises to be a proper pre-season challenge with a touch of glamour.

Stay tuned for live updates from Cardiff correspondent Glen Williams who is at the game for us tonight.

Kick-off is at 7pm UK time
