On Thursday, in the Spanish city of Seville, Real Betis and Braga will continue their UEFA Europa League duel, fighting for a place in the final four of the competition. It's all square after the first leg, which took place in Portugal just a week ago. On that occasion, both teams enjoyed moments of promise during what was a heated and tense affair, so it's easy to expect another high-intensity game, one where plenty of fouls will likely be made, as was the case a week ago.
In a betting sense, it's hard to look beyond a bet on Betis' Marc Roca to make at least two fouls, which is something that the combative Spaniard did during the first leg, fouling three times in total. Roca loves to get stuck in, while he's no stranger to getting a little rough with his play, especially in the high-pressure games, and this game is definitely a high-pressure affair.

Our Betis vs SC Braga Prediction
As Real Betis' number-one fouler, Marc Roca has struggled to keep himself out of trouble in the biggest games, as he showed last week, making not one, not two, but three fouls against Braga in Portugal. The Betis boys could dominate a little more at home, but let's face it, the visitors have a few tricky operators, so it's far from difficult to envisage Roca gaining more unwanted attention from the referee.
Given his numbers, at odds of +105, the Spaniard looks slightly generously priced to give away two or more fouls.
Our Real Betis vs Braga Pick: Marc Roca to Commit 2+ Fouls.
