Braga vs Freiburg prediction
2011 UEFA Europa League runners’ up Braga produced a remarkable comeback against Real Betis in the quarter-finals a couple of weeks ago, fighting back from 3-1 down on aggregate to win 5-3, 4-2 on the night, at La Cartuja. They had a six-match unbeaten run of form ended by a 2-1 defeat in the Azores against Santa Clara at the weekend.
They now face a Freiburg side that were extremely impressive in the quarter-finals as they annihilated Celta Vigo by six goals to one on aggregate. Julian Schuster’s Germans have been fully focused on cup competitions this month with a recent DFB-Pokal semi-final loss to Stuttgart after extra-time last week.
Freiburg are a different animal in Europe but, like the first-leg in Braga in the quarter-final against Betis, a close contest is to be expected and backing a draw would appear a decent bet for this one in northern Portugal.
