After holding Serbian champions Crvena Zvezda to a 1-1 draw, Celtic will be aiming to record their first win of the 2025/2026 Europa League campaign as they welcome Braga to their Celtic Park. The Hoops have been struggling to find their best form of late and they must be low on spirits following a slim goalless draw with Hibernian. Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is expected to shuffle his pack, with all Benjami Nygren, Kieran Tierney, and Michel-Ange Balikwisha pushing for a start.
The Reds, on the other hand, aim to recover from a shocking 1-0 loss to Nacional in their last Primeira Liga game. As both Braga and Celtic will go for a victory in Thursday’s showdown, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Defender Jonatas Noro remains in the recovery room, but the 20-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 2 October 2025 at 17:45.
