Rangers Sporting Braga betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Braga are having a fantastic time of the season, and even playing away from home, they are expected to enjoy the best opportunities to score goals. From Rangers we expect a very advanced team on the field, trying their best to take advantage of their opponent's failures to score. Thus, and taking into account the form of the two teams, risking in favor of goals in both goals is the best option.

Preview
Rangers and Sporting Braga face at Ibrox Stadium, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Europa League (16th Finals). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them. Sporting Braga registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Rangers

The home team comes to this stage of the UEFA Europa League (16th Finals) after having finished the group stage in the 2nd position of Group G, with 9 points won. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 30 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 33 goals scored and 5 conceded. In their last match, for the Premiership, they got a home win against Livingston by (1‑0). In the last 7 UEFA Europa League home matches Rangers has a record of 6 wins and 1 draw.

They haven’t lost any of the last 7 home matches for this competition. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

Rangers come to this game with a 1-0 home win over Livingston, returning to their victories after the defeat against Kilmarnock. We remember that the Scots finished the group stage of the Europa League in the 2nd position, with 9 points, 1 from the leader FC Porto. In this match against Braga, coach Steven Gerrard should keep the team in 4-3-3, with Morelos as the most offensive reference: this player is the great highlight of Rangers, with 29 goals in official matches. For this match, the home team cannot count on Defoe, Helander and Barisic, all due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Allan McGregor, Nikola Katić, James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Borna Barišić, Scott Arfield, Glen Kamara, Steven Davis, Ianis Hagi, Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent.
Coach: G. van Bronckhorst.

Analysis Braga

The away team comes to this stage of the UEFA Europa League (16th Finals) after having finished the group stage in the 1st position of Group K, with 14 points won. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 12 wins and 3 losses in away matches, with 33 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 16 conceded. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got an away win against Benfica by (0‑1). In the last 5 UEFA Europa League away matches Sporting Braga has a record of 5 wins.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 wins in the last away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 8 of the last 10 matches for the UEFA Europa League, they have reached half‑time in front in 4 of those 8 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 6 of them.

Braga come to this clash motivated after returning to the triumphs, by beating Benfica (0-1). Note that the visitors won Group K, with 14 points, 1 more than the second, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Usually, coach Rúben Amorim plays in 4-3-3, privileging the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the aisles. Ricardo Horta and Paulinho are Braga's best scorers in official matches, with 17 goals scored each. For this game the manager cannot count on Eduardo and Hassan, both injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Matheus, Wallace, Raul Silva, Bruno Viana, Nuno Sequeira, Ricardo Esgaio, João Palhinha, Fransergio, Paulinho, Abel Ruiz, Francisco Trincão.
Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.
