Prediction: 2-1
Hoffenheim
Braga and Hoffenheim square off against each other at Estadio Municipal de Braga in what is expected to be an interesting Europa League game. The Reds aim to put an end to their three-game winless run in the competition and they are surely capable of matching the Bundesliga outfit in front of home fans. The good news for the hosts is that defender Sikou Niakate is back from suspension. Rodrigo Zalazar remains on the sidelines with injury.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with Olympique Lyon in their last league game. Christian Ilzer’s men, though, are not considered good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Braga’s party at Estadio Municipal. In their last meeting at the venue, seven years ago, Braga defeated Hoffenheim 3-1. The likes of Bebou, Becker, Kabak, Lenz, and Promel should miss out with injuries for the away team.
