Braga vs Levski Sofia

Braga host Levski Sofia in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League qualifier, with the tie perfectly balanced following a 0-0 draw in the first meeting.

The Portuguese side are back at the Estadio Municipal de Braga and will be confident of finishing the job. They should have the upper hand over the visitors, who are a bit unconvincing on their travels.

Braga News

Braga will be disappointed not to have secured the advantage after dominating the first leg. They saw plenty of possession and created a number of scoring opportunities, but could not find the breakthrough.

While it was not the preferred outcome, the result means Braga are now unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions, winning the first half in four of the last five fixtures. Carlos Vincens' team are also unbeaten in their last seven home matches, picking up five wins on this run.

After firing blanks in the first leg, Braga will be keen to set things right on Thursday, having scored in their previous nine matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in two of the last three fixtures, both of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Levski Sofia News

Levski Sofia were second best in the first leg despite being the home side. They rode their luck a few times and carried little threat going forward, finishing with just two attempts on target.

The good news for Levski Sofia is that they are now unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions and picked up a 2-1 victory at Septemvri Sofia in a domestic fixture last weekend. However, Julio Velasquez’s team have been a bit unconvincing on their recent travels, picking up just four wins from their last 10 away matches.

Following the shutout in the first leg, Levski Sofia will be keen to set things right in Thursday’s match, having scored in seven of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last 10 away matches.

Head to Head

Last week's 0-0 draw was the first ever meeting between Braga and Levski Sofia.

Verdict

Braga v Levski Sofia

Braga will be keen to get things rolling early enough, and having won the first half in four of their last five matches, could be set for a repeat. The Portuguese side have earned a win and over 2.5 goals in two of their last four matches, and a similar outcome is on the cards.

With the tie still in the balance at 0-0, Braga and Levski Sofia will believe they can claim the upper hand here. Both teams are expected to come all out, and with neither defence convincing at the moment, they could be backed to score.
