Thursday evening, from 17:55, Sporting Braga receives the visit of Wolverhampton, in the 5th stage of the UEFA Europa League groups. In the round, Braga triumphed Molineux, 1-0!
The draw would help both sides, as it would provide an arm qualification for the two rivals. Braga is in the first place in group K (8-4 goal), with 10 points, while Wolves is second (4-2), with 9 points. In third place is Slovan Bratislava, with 4 points. Besiktas no longer counts in qualifying calculations, after 4 defeats in all the matches.
Braga is in good sports form and comes after three consecutive victories in the official matches: 3-1 with Besiktas, in UEL, 2-0 with Guimaraes, in the championship, but also 1-0 with Gil Vicente, in the Cup. Wolves has a similar series, with success in the championship against Aston Villa (2-1) and Bournemouth (2-1), but also an important victory in the Europa League, 1-0 with Slovan Bratislava. In total, two skillful groups meet, who “know the ball”, but who have no great motivation to display their qualities. We can risk a bet with average stake and on X solo!
Nuno Espirito Santo knows Braga very well, a team from the hometown of wolf managers, and the main care of the “wolves” will be to block the rivals from Lithuania. As in the tour, we expect a tactical game, where the chances of scoring will be difficult, and the absence of Hassan (Braga), respectively Boly and Gibbs-White (Wolves) should not matter much. Braga has 11 consecutive European matches without fail and will defend with great care Thursday night.
