Real Betis vs Braga

Real Betis host Braga at the Estadio de La Cartuja in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final on Thursday.

After a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Portugal, both sides remain firmly in contention as they chase a rare semi-final spot.

Real Betis News

Real Betis are aiming to reach back-to-back European semi-finals, having made the UEFA Conference League final last season. They come into this clash after a 1-1 stalemate away at Osasuna in La Liga, which marked their third consecutive draw and sixth in their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Betis also played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg against Braga, continuing a trend of closely contested fixtures. Despite their mixed results, they have remained consistent in attack, scoring in seven of their last 10 matches, although they have kept just two clean sheets in that run.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have been impressive in Europe, winning their last six two-legged ties. They have also been strong at home, losing just once in their last 10 matches on their own turf. Betis are unbeaten in their five home Europa League games this season, winning four, with Antony also netting four goals in that stretch.

Braga News

Braga are unbeaten since returning from the international break. They have won two of their three games, including a 1-0 home victory over Arouca in their most recent outing.

The Arsenalists will be disappointed not to have held onto their lead in the first leg, but still come into this clash in slightly better form than their opponents. The Portuguese side have won five of their last 10 matches in all competitions, scoring in nine of those games while keeping three clean sheets.

However, their European away record raises concerns. Carlos Vicens' men are winless in their last two Europa League away matches this season and have lost nine of their last 11 away knockout fixtures in UEFA competitions.

Head to Head

All three previous meetings between these sides have ended in draws, including the 1-1 stalemate in the first leg. Betis are also unbeaten in their last five matches against Portuguese opposition, winning three of those.

Verdict

Real Betis v Braga

Goals have been on both ends in the last two meetings between these two teams. The trend could continue here, with Both Teams to Score a solid choice.

Betis, having lost to Portuguese opposition in five games, have also won four of their five Europa League home games this season. That form suggests the hosts could edge this contest. Antony also scored in four of Betis’ last five home games, and the Brazilian could once again make an impact by finding the net in this encounter.
