Sporting Braga Preview – Can Braga avenge earlier defeat?
It’s been an impressive sequence of results for Thursday night’s hosts, Sporting Braga, as the Portuguese side have racked up eight wins out of their last nine matches in all competitions and losing just once – but this was to their upcoming visitors, Leicester City.
A 4-0 rout away from home at the King Power Stadium against Premier League outfit, Leicester City, has been Braga’s only defeat in recent times but although the home side have recorded recent back-to-back wins since with a 3-2 win away at Benfica and a Taca de Portugal cup win at Trofense, Braga look to have their work cut out for this Matchday 4 encounter.
Form and results at home in the Europa League have been encouraging though as Braga have lost just one of their last 10 ties at their Estádio Municipal de Braga, and they’ll be relying on this solid form when they entertain The Foxes on Thursday night.
Leicester City Preview – Can Leicester do the double over Braga?
Thursday night’s visitors, Leicester City, will be seeking a fourth straight win on the trot in this group stage of the Europa League which would also ensure the east midlands club’s passage through to the knockout rounds of this competition.
Victories over Zorya 3-0, AEK Athens 2-1 and the aforementioned 4-0 rout of Sporting Braga on Matchday 3 should give Leicester City the required boost to achieve a fourth win here but they head into this clash having lost 3-0 away at Liverpool last weekend.
Nevertheless, Leicester City had racked up six straight wins on the trot in all competitions prior to their ill-fated trip to Anfield and their one away outing in the Europa League this term resulted in a 2-1 triumph for The Foxes at AEK Athens.
