Braga Preview – Can Braga make home advantage count?

Braga bounced back immediately from their 1st leg 3-2 defeat to Rangers in the Europa League on the weekend by recording a 3-1 home win against Vitoria Setubal in the domestic Primeira Liga, and the hosts will no doubt be looking for more of the same in tonight’s return leg at their Estádio Municipal de Braga.

That defeat away at Rangers in Glasgow has been Braga’s only defeat in their last 12 matches overall in all competitions, so the hosts won’t be too perturbed by chasing a 1-goal deficit as they return to more familiar surroundings for this deciding leg.

Indeed, Braga boast a pretty solid record at home in the Europa League as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 8 ties in this competition, winning 5 of these with wins over Hoffenheim, Marseille, Brondby, Spartak Moscow and Besiktas.

The bigger picture shows that Braga have lost just 1 of their last 12 home ties in the Europa League.

Rangers Preview – Can Rangers hold on?

The visitors have also demonstrated some pretty strong results of late overall as Rangers head into this 2nd leg in Portugal on the back of just 1 defeat out of their last 8 matches overall in all competitions.

That loss came in the shape of a 2-1 loss away from home at Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership but recent wins against Hamilton, Livingston and last week’s 1st leg 3-2 win at home against Braga have more than compensated for that loss.

Results away from home though have shown a few chinks in Rangers’ armour in recent times as Steven Gerrard’s side have suffered defeats at Hearts and Kilmarnock as well as being held to a 2-2 draw by St Johnstone in the Premiership, while capturing just 2 away wins out of their last 12 ties on their travels in the Europa League.

This 2nd leg is therefore far from being over and Rangers could face a tough 90 minutes in Portugal on Wednesday night as a result.
