Braga Preview – Can the Portuguese make home advantage count?
Braga booked their place in the last eight of this season’s Europa League by beating Monaco in the Round of 16. After a 2-0 victory on home soil, the Portuguese outfit drew 1-1 at the Stade Louis II to secure a 3-1 aggregate win.
Carlos Carvalhal’s side have suffered just one defeat since mid-February. They head into this on the back of a superb result against Benfica in the league last Friday, edging past the Eagles with a 3-2 home win.
Like Rangers, Braga have surprised many by reaching the last eight, but the Archbishops fully deserve their spot in the quarters. Can they see off the Scottish champions over two legs and secure their passage through to the final four?
Rangers Preview – Will the Gers bounce back from derby defeat?
Giovanni Van Bronckhorst’s Rangers have picked up some memorable results in the Europa League this term. They finished runners-up behind Lyon in Group A, winning two, drawing two and losing two to take eight points from six games.
They were then paired up against German giants Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 32. Against all odds, the Gers went through with a stunning 6-4 win. The Glasgow team then beat Red Star Belgrade 4-2 on aggregate to book their spot in the last eight.
