We are already halfway through the group phases of the competition, and contention for qualification from this section remains intense. Having won all of their three fixtures so far, Leicester City lead the way and are three points clear of Braga.

Braga have been one of the best sides in this group, and are placed second on the log. With AEK Athens breathing heavy down their necks, Braguistas will be desperate for a result in this fixture to move clear of this Greek side.

Braga vs Leicester City Team News

Thanks to their decent third-place finish in the Portuguese Primeira Liga last season, Braga earned a spot in this year’s edition of the Europa League. Now representing their country in the competition, the Archbishops will be eyeing a good run here.

They are already off to an incredible start, picking up six points from their opening three games to occupy second-place. With only five strikes to their name, it is fair to say Braga are no experts in front of goal. However, their defensive record deserves applauding.

Even though Carvalhal’s men have conceded five goals so far, it is worth noting that four of them came against Leicester City on the last matchday. Prior to that, they had allowed only one effort through their sturdy defense.

Playing out a horrific game on the last matchday, Braga were brought down to bare bones in a 4-0 defeat to this strong Leicester City side. Despite being touted to give the Foxes a difficult game prior to kickoff, the visitors succumbed to a heavy defeat.

Iheanacho was the top of the pops for the Foxes, weighing in with two goals as his side recorded an emphatic victory. Now, Leicester will have to keep up this momentum as they head into matchday 4 – the reverse fixture against their Portuguese counterparts.

Showing real class in the Premier League, Brendan Rodgers’ men have begun the season brightly with 18 points from nine games to sit fourth on the log. Last time out, they were comfortably swept aside by reigning champions Liverpool.

Failing to get a foothold in the game, Leicester City were outplayed all through the ninety minutes, conceding three goals in the process. They will be hoping to bounce back from that embarrassing loss with a winning performance in this Europa League fixture.

Injured or Suspended Players

Braga: Rui Fonte, Fransergio and Francisco Moura.
Leicester City: Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu and Timothy Castagne.

Braga vs Leicester Predictions

Having rested a host of first-team regulars in their previous clash against Trofense, Carlos Carvalhal is set to name a very strong side for this game. Rodgers will also be determined to score a win here, and as such, likely to field a formidable squad as well.

A tense affair expected in Portugal, it is quite difficult to call an outright victor. The safest punt will be backing the visitors to come out tops in either of the two halves.
