The decisive match of the double Braga – Rangers will be played on Wednesday, on the Municipal Stadium of Braga, starting at 19:00.
Will Ianis Hagi manage to make a great match again and qualify his team in the best?
Braga
◾️After the failure of the first half, he won a moral victory in the First League; it prevailed on its own ground with 3-1 in the dispute with Setubal (the 3 goals of the hosts were scored by Ricardo Horta, Bruno Wilson and Trincao).
◾️It does very well on its own ground; in the previous 20 home matches played in all competitions he suffered only 2 failures.
◾️He finished unbeaten the previous 5 Europa League games played in front of his supporters (scored in all 5 games).
◾️It’s a very offensive team; scored at least 1 goal in each of the last 13 official matches played in all competitions.
Rangers
◾️He goes confident in Portugal after he managed to return the score in the tourney game. Like the opponent in this game, he has a pretty strong offensive; scored at least 1 goal in 15 of the previous 16 official games in all competitions.
◾️Has scored at least once in each of the last 8 games in the Europa League; in the previous move of the Europa League recorded a draw with goals (2-2 at Feyenoord).
◾️Alfredo Morelos is suspended after seeing the yellow card in the first half; if it is to consider his performance at Ibrox Stadium, I do not think he will feel very absent. Ryan Jack returns after being suspended.

Football Prediction of the Day Braga vs Rangers
Sporting Braga lost the advantage of two goals in the tour, receiving in the second half of the first leg only a little of 3 goals and thus turning his return into a mandatory match to win.
Braga had excellent performances in the national championship, which gives the supporters a reason for optimism before facing the Rangers.
Rangers, on the other hand, showed character managing to come back and prevail in the game, with a score of 3-2, but considering its performance from the trips made this season, I see it starting with the second chance in qualification calculations.
It is certain that Braga needs a win to qualify, and Rangers will give everything they can to score as quickly as possible.
I expect an offensive approach from both teams and I think we will see a spectacular match again, with goals at both gates and at least 3 in total.
Prediction Today: Both teams score & Over 2.5 goals
Odds: 2.30
