Braga vs Levski Sofia Predictions

• Braga have lost one of their last seven matches at home in the Europa League
• All three of Levski’s Europa League games this season have been goalless after 90 minutes
• Just four of Braga’s last 16 matches have featured more than three goals

Levski lack required firepower

Levski Sofia have started their domestic season in fine style with seven goals in their opening two matches, but the Europa League is a big step up from that and they may not have much to offer in the second leg of their qualifier in Braga in Thursday.

The Bulgarians have been involved in three Europe games this year, including last week’s first leg, and they have all ended in goalless draws after they reached this stage by beating Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva on penalties in the last round.

Braga should get the job done

So it seems those hoping for plenty of action may be disappointed, especially as they teams mustered just four shots on target between them in the first meeting, but Braga’s home record has to be respected and they should get the job done with minimal fuss.

The Portuguese outfit beat Lazio, Hoffenheim and Maccabi Tel Aviv at home in the league stage of this competition last season, conceding just once in those games, so take them to come out on top without conceding.

Their game’s tend to be low-scoring, so those looking for a correct-score interest are pointed to a 2-0 home victory.
