Aron Wright - November 24, 2020

Sporting Braga vs Leicester City
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, 26 November 2020
Kick-off at 17:55 UK/ 18:55 CET
Venue: Estádio Municipal de Braga.

The Foxes are the top of the table with a 100% winning record so far, and one more win this Thursday would guarantee them a spot in the knockouts.

They have so far scored the most number of goals in the group, and have conceded the least in the process as well (just one).

Going on, they are also from the most competitive domestic league in Europe, and have been counted amongst the very best clubs in the continent in the past few years.

In addition, they also have a 100% winning record in h2h encounters over their whole history as well.

Considering these factors, expect Leicester to deliver a dominating win this Thursday.

Sporting Braga vs Leicester City Head-to-head (h2h)

• The reverse fixture ended in a 4-0 win for Brendan Rodgers’s men. This has been the only face-to-face encounter between the two teams so far.
• The Archbishops were winless in three of the preceding four clashes against other English opponents.
• The Foxes have taken part in two fixtures, against other Portuguese rivals. In fact, both games were against Porto – and Rodgers’s men won at home, while Porto won the game at their home.

Sporting Braga vs Leicester City Prediction

The 2015-16 PL champions recorded a 4-0 in at home the last match-day in the Europa, against this same rival.

They were also on a six-game winning run before the international break, and since then their streak came to an end against reigning English champions – Liverpool.

During the six-game winning run, the team had scored three or more goals three times, and had kept clean sheets four times.

On the road, they had won six of their preceding seven trips, and had scored a total of 17 goals in the process.

Going on, they are also from the prestigious PL, where they regularly take on the best teams in the world, and in the recent few years, they have been battling it out for the top-most spot there as well.

Carlos Carvalhal’s men, who have a 100% losing record in h2h fixtures, are easily the underdogs this game week. In fact, they also do have a troubling h2h record against other English rivals in the past few years.

Taking into account these observations, expect Leicester to deliver another win this Thursday, and ensure their ticket to the Round of 16.
