Elfsborg will be gunning for a second win in the league stage of the Europa League when they welcome Sporting Braga to Sweden. Heading into this Match Day 4 encounter, we have the preview and a prediction.
The hosts registered a memorable 1-0 win against Roma on Match Day 2 of the competition. However, losses to Galatasaray and AZ on Match Days 1 and 3 mean they are low in the playoff spots.
Having beaten Braga twice before – in the 2009 Europa League, Elfsborg will be confident going into this game. The Swedish side warmed up for this clash with two straight victories, the most recent a 1-0 win against Vasteras.
Sporting Braga had a solid start to this stage of the Europa League, beating Maccabi Tel Aviv 2-1. They have failed to keep that momentum, losing 3-0 to Olympiakos and 2-1 against Bodo/Glimt.
The visitors will, however, go into this game much improved off the back of a three-game winning run. On Saturday they claimed a 2-1 win at Arouca in the Portuguese league.
That was the first of four straight matches away from home. Braga have failed to win their last two away matches in the Europa League. This could pose a challenge, seeing that Elfsborg are doing well at home.
