Prediction: 2-1
Servette
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Maccabi Petah Tikva, Braga will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Servette in the Europa League third qualifying round, first leg. Braga are seen as hot favourites to win the first leg and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Swiss outfit. Summer signing Adrian Marin should keep his place in the starting XI following his fine performance in the 5-0 crushing over Maccabi.
Servette, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Lugano at the weekend, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Jeremy Guillemenot, while experienced defender Steve Rouiller is back from the domestic ban. This will be the first meeting between the two sides in the Europa League.
