Match Time & Date:

18:45
Prediction: 2-1
Braga
AS Roma will be aiming to build on a 4-1 win over Lecce when they take on Braga in the Europa League round 6. The Romans have regained a much-needed confidence and they are now on a quest to return to winning ways in the Europa League. Zeki Celik has joined Bryan Cristante in the recovery room, while key attacker Artem Dovbyk is a major doubt.
The Reds, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Estoril at the weekend. Braga are eager to get back on course as soon as possible, but seeing that Claudio Ranieri’s men have turned Stadio Olimpico into a real fortress, home win should definitely be considered. In their last meeting in the Europa League, three years ago, AS Roma defeated Braga 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Defender Paulo Oliveira should be the only absentee in the away team.
