Correct score prediction: Braga 2-2 Feyenoord
Braga have struggled to turn performances into victories recently, while Feyenoord’s long-running issues on the road in this competition could once again prove costly, pointing to a stalemate as the most likely outcome. Two of Braga’s last three draws have ended 2-2, and given Feyenoord’s ability to find the net in all eight matches this season, another high-scoring draw is on the cards.

Most recent H2H: First ever meeting
This is the first ever competitive match between the two clubs, although Braga and Feyenoord are no strangers to facing opposition from the other’s nation.
Braga finished fourth in the Primeira Liga last season to secure a place in the Europa League qualifiers, where they overcame Ludogorets and CFR Cluj before dismantling Lincoln Red Imps 9-1 on aggregate. Since the emphatic 5-1 second-leg win, however, the Archbishops have failed to claim victory in three straight top-flight fixtures, including a 1-1 draw against Minho rivals Vitoria de Guimaraes last weekend.
Centre-back Paulo Oliveira remains a doubt for this clash, while midfielder Mario Dorgeles, who was forced off in their last European tie, is expected to stay sidelined.
Predicted XI: Hornicek (GK), Gomez, Lagerbielke, Niakate, Lelo, Gorby, Moutinho, Zalazar, Horta, Ouazzani & Navarro

Feyenoord ended third in the Eredivisie last season, which secured them a place in the Champions League qualifiers, only to be knocked out 6-4 on aggregate by Fenerbahce, dropping them into the Europa League proper. Their 5-2 loss in the second leg of that tie is the only blemish across eight matches this campaign, with Robin van Persie’s men winning six and drawing once.
The Dutch champions saw their five-match league winning streak halted in a thrilling 3-3 draw against AZ Alkmaar on Sunday, a result that ended their perfect start but kept them top of the Eredivisie with 16 points from a possible 18.
Defender Anel Ahmedhodzic was dismissed in that game but is eligible for selection in Europe, while Goncalo Borges is back from special leave. Inbeom Hwang (calf) and Gernot Trauner (Achilles tendon) continue to recover from long-term injuries.
