Last Thursday in Budapest, Hungarian football powerhouse Ferencváros, with goals from Kanichowsky and Joseph, defeated SC Braga in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16. This gives the seven-time Hungarian league champions a two-goal advantage heading to Portugal, but due to yellow card accumulation, they will be without Norwegian midfielder Zachariassen for the return leg.
In the previous round, Ferencváros lost the first leg in Bulgaria against Ludogorets but overturned the tie in the return leg. Now, in Portugal, they must be careful not to fall behind in a comeback if they hope to reach their first European quarterfinals since 1975.
SC Braga has reason to believe a comeback is possible; they had a remarkable Europa League group stage, finishing fifth with 17 points and 11 goals. The Archbishops have only lost two of their last 11 matches, and their recent form at the Estádio Municipal de Braga is near perfect, as they are undefeated, winning eight of their last nine home games.

Our SC Braga vs Ferencvarosi Budapest Prediction
SC Braga has had a recurring presence in European football recently, including appearances in the Champions League. The Archbishops know what it takes to overturn a first-leg deficit in a tie; they did so four years ago against a Moldovan team. Meanwhile, Ferencváros won the first leg in last season's Europa League but were ultimately eliminated by Czech side Plzeň.
In a match like this, Portuguese striker Ricardo Horta could be crucial, although he didn't feature much in the first leg; before that, he was on a tremendous scoring streak in Portugal.
Our prediction for SC Braga vs Ferencváros is: SC Braga -1.5.
