Slovan Bratislava vs Braga Predictions

• Braga need to equal or better Wolves’ result on Thursday to ensure they claim the top spot in Group K.
• The hosts can’t qualify for the knockout stage as they sit six points behind Wolves and only have pride left to play for on Thursday.
• Braga haven’t lost a game in Group K so far.
• Slovan Bratislava have lost their last three group games.

Braga have outplayed Slovan Bratislava in the Europa League this season

These two sides drew 2-2 in their reverse fixture back in October and Slovan Bratislava have only picked up one win from their five group games while Braga are yet to lose a single match in the Europa League this season, which is why we have backed the visitors with a double chance bet this Thursday.

Braga have only lost one of their last six matches in all competitions and have won both of their away games in Group K, while Slovan Bratislava have only failed to score in one of their last six matches and haven’t failed to score at home in the league this season.
Braga have scored two or more goals in three of their last six matches.

Slovan Bratislava might not have lost at home domestically but they did lose their last home game in the Europa League 2-1 against Wolves and Braga have picked up two wins and one draw away from home in the Primeira Liga but remain unbeaten on the road in the Europa League.

The hosts are strongest at home but did lose to Wolves in Bratislava

Slovan Bratislava’s home games produce an average of 2.78 goals per game but Braga only concede an average of 1.00 goals per away game, which is why we have backed the visitors to win 2-1 on Thursday. 44% of Slovan Bratislava’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals but only 14% of Braga’s away games have seen them concede goals in both halves, which is another reason we believe the visitors will win on Thursday.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Braga will payout on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in the Portuguese sides’ favour. The visitors haven’t lost in the group stage so far and need to win to ensure they finish in first place ahead of Wolves. Slovan Bratislava won’t be easy to beat in their own backyard but Wolves did pick up three points there but just in case the game does end in a draw, we have backed a double chance bet rather than an outright Braga victory.
