Slovan Bratislava vs Braga Predictions
Slovan Bratislava admit a third consecutive defeat in Group K after Besiktas exert a comeback to post a 2-1 scorecard in their last clash in the street. the loss was definitely a new low for them in their campaigns, because they have derived the same Turkish outfit in their opening clash by 4-2 scorecard.
With nothing more than a victory and a draw to their name, the hosts are sitting third in the cluster. And only one point above the rock-bottom side Besiktas and six points clear of second-placed Wolves.
Meanwhile, Braga have not tripped in the Europa League. The visitors took off a 3-3 draw against Wolves at home in their last clash, although lagging behind by two goals at the end of the first half.
It is also worthy to mention that the far side was quiet and calm in my travels around Europe so far. They have secured maximum points from two games.
In addition, visitors have dropped points just twice in their previous five group clashes. Currently, they are top of the cluster with a slender one-point advantage.
Given the shape of stars Braga are in, Slovan Bratislava is the underdog to come out on top this week.
However, the hosts won a share of the spoils in their maiden clash with the enemy, it's also on the road. Taking into account the home advantage in their hands and the fact Braga saved only a point in their latest Europa clash as well, the safest punt would opt for the double chance.
In addition, Braga has not kept a clean sheet since their opening day 1-0 win over Wolves. They have since gone on to concede seven goals, one of which is on the way.
