Prediction: 2-0
Sheriff Tiraspol
Braga will look to come from two goals behind in the Europa League tie with Sheriff when the teams face each other at Estadio Municipal de Braga on Thursday evening. The Primeira Liga outfit aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Tondela, and the reputable bookies see them as favourites to win the return leg. Since Braga have turned their stadium into a real fortress, home win should be considered.
Andre Horta is back from a domestic ban, while all Sequeira, Fernandes and Lucas Mineiro should miss out with injuries. Sheriff, on the other hand, have been performing above expectations in the 2021/2022 season, but given their anything but brilliant away record, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. The good news for the visitors is that both Addo and Dulanto are back to contention after missing the first leg through suspension.

Ricardo Horta is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Sporting Braga in Primeira Liga. Born in Sobreda, Portugal, on September 15, 1994, Ricardo Horta spent his youth career at Ginasio Corroios, Benfica, and Vitoria Setubal.

Ricardo Horta made his Primeira Liga debut against Rio Ave back in April 2013, during his spell with Vitoria Setubal. His primary position is left winger, but he is capable of producing good performances as a right winger as well. He made his Portugal debut in a 1-0 loss to Albania in the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
Highlighted Team (Sheriff Tiraspol):
Sheriff Tiraspol or simply Sheriff are the most successful Moldavian club. The club was founded in 1997 four years later (2000/2001) they won their first Moldovan National Division trophy. Over the years Sheriff Tiraspol have established themselves as the dominant force in the Moldovan football and you should that they won their 15th domestic trophy in the 2016/2017 season.
Sheriff were level on points with Dacia Chisinau, but thanks to a better goal difference Roberto Bordin’s men won the national championship. The Moldovan champions wear yellow shirts and yellow shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kits is black. Sheriff Tiraspol host their opponents at Sheriff Stadium in Tiraspol and the venue can hold 12.746 people.
By beating the likes of Dinamo Tirana and Dinamo Zagreb the Moldovan club did well to make it to the Champions League play-off round in the 2010/2011 season, but Basel eventually proved to be a big catch for them.
