Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner here, but good reason to think Braga and Genk will find the net twice at least between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Carlos Vicens or Thorsten Fink has served up too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.22 equating to roughly a 79% probability.

Goal Statistics

Sporting Braga have been reliable in front of goal of late, scoring in 7 consecutive Europa League games. Their PG of 1.9 against KRC Genk on Thursday suggests that run is likely to continue.

Sporting Braga's defensive record is to be admired, C. Vicens's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Europa League matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for KRC Genk makes sense in this context.
