Braga hosts Monaco in the first leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, March 10th at Estádio Municipal de Braga (Braga)
Braga almost lost to Sheriff Tiraspol in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. I remind you that the Yellow-Blacks won the first match with a score of 2-0. But in the second leg, Carlos Carvalhal’s men managed to put the squeeze on the opponent. They scored two goals in regulation time and then were stronger in the penalty shootout (3-2). In autumn, Braga played in the group stage of the Europa League and took second place, earning ten points in six games. The gap to Crvena Zvezda was only one point. The Archbishops have already played four home matches in the current UEL draw and have not suffered a single defeat: three victories and one draw.

Having taken first place in the group, Monaco will start their performance in the playoffs only at this stage. I remind you that the team outranked Real Sociedad, PSV, and Sturm Graz, scoring 12 points in six games. It is noteworthy that the Monegasques began their journey in the current European campaign in the Champions League qualification, where they eventually managed to reach the playoffs. Four of Monaco's six games in the Europa League group stage ended with low production. Six previous UEL games of the representatives of the Cote d'Azur pleased the fans with an exchange of goals scored. The results were as follows: one victory, four draws, and one loss.
In the summer of 2019, Braga and Monaco held a friendly match and failed to determine the winner. The referee's final whistle recorded a goalless draw. The last eight away games of Monaco in Ligue 1 ended like this: two victories, four draws, and two defeats. Currently, Braga and Monaco are teams of approximately the same level. But I believe that it is the Portuguese who have more chances to advance to the next round. After all, the Monegasques are in very poor shape now. And the Archbishops, who managed to turn the tide of confrontation against Sheriff Tiraspol, probably believed in their own potential. And if the Moldovan team managed to upset Carvalhal's men, then the Monegasques should do it either. I bet on an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
