Ferencvaros vs Braga prediction

Under the management of Robbie Keane, Ferencvaros have been generally very impressive throughout this campaign in Europe. The Hungarians are in good form, too, with a 3-1 defeat of Nyiregyhaza Spartacus at the weekend meaning that they have enjoyed five wins in a row since a defeat to Ludogorets Razgrad in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League knockout playoff round tie in mid-February.

They now face a Braga side that most recently continued their own strong run of form with a fun 2-2 draw against Sporting CP in the north of Portugal the other day, meaning that they have now suffered just one defeat in their last ten matches across all competitions.

Braga will fancy themselves to try and take the game to Ferencvaros and so both teams scoring may well be a good bet for this one at the Groupama Arena.
