Braga hosts Zorya Luhansk in round 6 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 10th at Estádio Municipal de Braga (Braga)
Braga is a solid Portuguese club that regularly demonstrates high-quality results in the local arena and European Cups. The Archbishops gained 10 points, and they continue to compete with Leicester for the first line in the quartet. For Carlos Carvalhal's men, it is crucial to take first place in the group since it will give a favorable draw in the playoffs of the tournament. The club cannot compete with Benfica, Porto, and Sporting in terms of finances. Braga finds no-names in the transfer market, and the coaching staff makes skilled players out of them. Thus, Trincao left the team in the summer (he moved to Barcelona). Now the Portuguese can count on such talents as Horta, Paulinho, Galeno, and David Carmo.

The start in the Europa League turned out to be terrible for Zorya - three defeats in a row with a total score of 2:9. In the second part, Skrypnyk's men changed significantly - victories over AEK (3:0) and Leicester (1:0). Such indicators will help the club to light up in football Europe and make some profitable sales. The team is also gaining shape in the local arena. It is gradually moving closer to the European Cup zone. In the Europa League, such talented players as Kochergin, Ciganiks, Ivanisenya, Gromov, Yurchenko, and Hladkyy showed themselves well on the pitch. Skrypnyk does not have enough personnel for high-quality rotation, and players of a different role even close some problematic positions. Despite this, the team looked organized in the last matches and showed a decent game.
Despite the guaranteed ticket to the playoffs, the Portuguese club will only play to win. The first place in the group and an advantageous draw in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League are at stake for Braga. Zorya will play counter-attacking football. The Ukrainian team is capable of converting their attempts in the penalty area of the opponent who is far from perfect in defense. The fans will probably see a spectacular game with an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
