Braga have a mountain to climb as they look to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg against Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) round of 16. This second leg fixture between the Archbishops and the Greens comes with our prediction of less than 2.5 goals. The winner of this two-legged tie will play the winner of Real Betis vs Panathinaikos.

The Archbishops have had a disappointing trip in the first leg, especially as the defeat was just their second in 11 competitive matches. However, their recent form, with only two wins from their last five games, does not bode well. One thing working in their favour is their impeccable home record in European competitions.

Ferencvaros are proving to be a surprise package, and the first-leg win was their sixth in a row in all competitions. This has already made up for their underwhelming finish to the league phase of this campaign. Will the visitors once again play spoilsport?

SC Braga - Ferencvarosi Budapest: Form Analysis

The 2-0 defeat in the first leg means Braga won just two of their last five competitive matches (D1, L2). This sequence has come after the Portuguese won five of six games in all competitions (D1) between mid-January and the start of February.

Playing at home is perhaps the best thing for Braga under these circumstances. The ‘Archbishops’ have seven wins from their last nine competitive home fixtures (D2), and four of those nine games saw them keep a clean sheet.

Braga won nine of their last ten home European matches.

Ferencvaros won their last six competitive matches in a row, while scoring 17 goals. That scoring form could come to their rescue, as even a single goal for the visitors will increase the winning margin requirement for Braga.

The Hungarian visitors will be wary of being overconfident, though, as they have failed to win their last three away UEL games (D1, L2). Both those losses have come in their last two trips, although the latest was a 2-1 defeat to Ludogorets in the playoff phase.

SC Braga & Ferencvarosi Budapest Squad Analysis

Braga doesn't seem to have any new fresh injuries, which means the long-standing absentees Adrian Barisic and Vitor Carvalho are the only missing players.

The hosts have usually lined up in their favourite 3-4-3 formation, which they used even in the first leg. Pau Victor started as the striker, playing slightly ahead of Ricardo Horta and Rodrigo Zalazar. Fran Navarro could be pushing for a starting role, as he has three UEL goals this season.

Horta has scored six goals in his last seven competitive matches.

Kristoffer Zachariassen is suspended for Ferencvaros, while Bence Otvos has missed their last four games due to an injury. Stefan Gartenmann is another long-term absence due to injury for the Hungarian visitors.

Ferencvaros have lined up in a 3-4-1-2 formation for the first leg but have mixed it with a stubborn 3-5-2 system. With a lead to protect and Braga to do all the running, don’t be surprised if they revert to that defensive formation. Interestingly, midfielder Gabi Kanichowsky has scored in his last two UEL games and could be targeting another goal here.

Our SC Braga vs Ferencvarosi Budapest Prediction

Braga have all the running to do in this fixture, after their 2-0 away defeat in the first leg. Playing at home could prove advantageous as the Portuguese have eight wins in their last nine continental matches played at home. Seven clean sheets in this sequence is a big boost to their hopes, but Ferencvaros will look to make things difficult for them. The visitors have won their last six competitive matches, scoring 17 goals.

This could be a tight game, and that’s why our SC Braga vs Ferencvarosi Budapest prediction is less than 2.5 goals.
