Prediction: 0-2
Braga
Boras Arena will be the centre of attention when Elfsborg and Braga take on each other in the Europa League round 4. Elfsborg aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Vasteras, but they will have a mountain to climb against Braga. Head coach Oscar Hiljemark should have a full squad to choose from. The Reds, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in all competitions.
Braga suffered a 2-1 loss to Bodo in their last Europa League game, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance into goals. Although defender Sikou Niakate is suspended for Thursday's game, away win should be considered, as Braga’s experience in European competitions gives them an edge over Elfsborg. Bright Arrey-Mbi and Robson Bambu should be the only absentees in the visiting team, while star player Ricardo Horta returns to the starting XI.
