The starting line-ups for each team are from their last match in this tournament. Elfsborg The Scandinavians have earned 3 points after 3 rounds, thanks to a 1-0 victory over Roma, although they lost their matches against AZ Alkmaar and Galatasaray. It's worth mentioning that Elfsborg scored in all 3 matches, totaling 6 goals in the group stage, with only 6 teams scoring more. In the Europa League standings, the Swedish club is in 22nd place, ahead of their upcoming opponent based on additional indicators. - The team has scored against their opponents in 10 of the last 11 matches in Europe's second-tier competition. - Elfsborg has not lost in 8 out of the last 10 Europa League encounters (7 wins, 1 draw). - At home in the Europa League, the club performs even better, winning 8 out of the last 10 matches (1 draw, 1 loss). Braga The Portuguese team lost their last 2 Europa League matches, failing against Olympiacos (0-3) and Bodø/Glimt (1-2). Braga started the group stage with a 2-1 victory over Tel Aviv's Maccabi. Thus, the club has not kept a clean sheet in the main stage of the Europa League. Moreover, they have a streak of 6 matches with conceded goals in the competition. In the current Europa League standings, the team is in 26th place. Defender Sikou Niakate will miss the game due to suspension. - There was a goal exchange in 5 of Braga's last 6 Europa League matches. - The team hasn't lost in 8 out of the last 10 matches in the tournament (6 wins, 2 draws). - The Portuguese have scored at least 2 goals in 6 out of the last 8 away Europa League encounters. Elfsborg vs Braga: Match Prediction The Swedish team put up a respectable fight against Galatasaray away in the last round, losing with a score of 3-4. Elfsborg also won their only home match in the current Europa League campaign, defeating Roma. Elfsborg has been successful at home in Europe's second-tier competition over a longer period, winning 8 out of the last 10 encounters. Nonetheless, Braga is considered the favorite for the upcoming match, despite losing their last 2 tournament games against not the strongest opponents – Olympiacos and Bodø/Glimt. I believe that the chances of success in this match are at least equal, with Elfsborg, who performs excellently at home, not giving up victory to the Portuguese without a fight. Braga's away results in the Europa League are not impressive either, failing to win in 8 out of the last 12 matches, suffering 5 defeats. The Swedes, on the other hand, have not lost in 9 out of the last 10 home encounters in the tournament. Therefore, my prediction is "Elfsborg win or draw" with odds of 1.71. Author: Roman Sedov
