The 30th-place Go Ahead Eagles will make one last push on the final day when they host an already qualified SC Braga. With only three points separating Kowet and 21st-place Lille, there's still much hope. For Braga, who are in 5th position, a draw might just be enough to secure a top 8 spot by the end of Round 8. Let's get into our match prediction.
Despite losing five of its seven Europa League games, the Go Ahead Eagles aren't yet out. Back-to-back wins over Panathinaikos and Aston Villa in Round 2 and 3 still keep them in contention for a top 24 spot. However, after four straight losses, fans must be doubting their chances of seeing their Eagles in the playoffs.
They would not only need all three points, but might have to win with a large enough margin to get through. But that's a tall order to ask for against this Braga side. Os Arsenalistas have lost just one game in all competitions, and that was a well-contested 4-3 defeat to Genk.
In contrast, Braga has won five of its seven Europa League games, beating the likes of Feyenoord, Celtic, Nice, and lately, Nottingham Forest. They haven't exactly secured a top 8 spot, but they can rest much easier than their rivals on Thursday.

Our Go Ahead Eagles vs SC Braga Prediction
The beauty of this new Europa League format is that even “technically qualified” teams still have a lot to play for on the last day. If Braga slips up and loses this game, they may finish outside the top 8, meaning two more grueling knockout games ahead.
To avoid this, Os Arsenalistas will be bringing the heat. And for Kowet, this possibly means outscoring if they hope to win and stand a chance for a qualification playoff spot. Hence, our Go Ahead Eagles vs SC Braga prediction is Over 2.5 Goals.
