Best Tip: Braga to win

This one could be one way traffic and, unfortunately for the home team, that way is Braga's. We predict Thursday's visitors to De Adelaarshorst will have too much for their hosts, and it's a view backed up by each side's respective recent form stats, head-to-head (H2H) records and the odds from the UK's leading bookies too. They make an away win in the win / draw / win market the most likely result, and are offering a best price of 1.57.
