In what could turn out to be another enjoyable affair from the Europa League on Thursday night, Rangers will make the trip to Braga for their quarter-final first-leg.
Starting with the hosts, managing to mark their return to action with a stunning display on domestic duties, Braga will be desperate to pick up an early advantage here. In their 28 Primeira Liga matchups this season, they have recorded 15 wins, seven draws and six defeats, scoring 46 and conceding 28 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 52, they currently find themselves sat fourth in the standings and holding a commanding six-point buffer from dropping out of the top-four. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 3-2 win against Benfica on home soil, Braga have lost just one of their previous nine matchups across all formats. Likewise, booking their spot in the quarter-finals of this year’s Europa League with a 3-1 aggregate win against Monaco, Thursday’s hosts have seen their last three fixtures finish with both teams finding the net.
As for the visitors, suffering what could turn out to be a costly defeat on their return to action, Rangers could be in for another tough test here. In their 32 Scottish Premiership matchups so far this season, they have recorded 22 wins, seven draws and three defeats, scoring 63 and conceding 27 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 73, they currently sit second in the table and now six points adrift of their bitter rivals. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss at home against Celtic, the Blues have lost two of their last three matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should be highlighted, along with their last three fixtures on the spin, Rangers have also seen four of their last five contests on the road finish with both teams finding the net. In what could be a lively affair, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
