Qarabağ vs Sporting Braga prediction 2024-02-22
Braga will be aiming to overcome a two-goal deficit in the tie with Qarabag when the two teams face each other at Tofiq Bahramov Stadium on Thursday afternoon. The Primeira Liga outfit experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the 4-2 loss to Qarabag a week ago, but they should not be written off just. Key player Ricardo Horta, though, remains on the sidelines with heart problems, which is probably the main reason why away win should not be considered.
Both Adrian Marin and Bruma are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. The hosts, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the second leg and, taking everything into account, there is a big value in betting on draw. The good news for the hosts is that Montenegro international Marko Vesovic is back from suspension.
Prediction: 1-1 (draw)

Statistic
Qarabag
Gurban Gurbanov's team has held the status of the best team in Azerbaijan for many years and regularly enters European cups, including the Champions League. So the Europa League playoffs are far from new for Garabagh, and its success in the away game against Braga is no coincidence. In Portugal, the first half ended 1:1, and by the 69th minute "Qarabag" led 4:1, and if not for a penalty in extra time, would have taken away from Braga a resounding victory.
Braga
Artur Jorge's team, it should be recalled, ended up in the Europa League playoffs after finishing third in the Champions League group. Braga missed Real Madrid and Napoli, but were ahead of Union Berlin. Apparently, in the LE the path of the Portuguese team will end after the 1/16 finals. At least, 2:4 after the first game against Qarabagh leaves Braga with almost no chance of success.
