[Europa League] Given the current form of both teams, I don’t believe Braga will succeed in this match.

This season has not been the best for Braga. The team, which has been competing for a top-three spot in the Primeira Liga in recent years, is currently in fifth place, trailing the modest Santa Clara, a league newcomer.

In the previous round of the Primeira Liga, Braga led 2-0 in a home match against Sporting but conceded four goals after the break. This marked the farewell of Ruben Amorim as Sporting’s coach. Over the weekend, Braga eliminated modest Leixões from the Portuguese Cup (2-0).

In the Europa League, Braga’s situation is even worse. After four rounds, they sit in 26th place overall. In the first round, Braga secured a win against Maccabi Tel Aviv but then suffered defeats to Olympiacos (0-3), Bodø/Glimt (1-2), and drew with Elfsborg (1-1). Considering their upcoming schedule, Braga faces an uphill battle to make the top 24.

Hoffenheim had a tough start to the season and is currently in 13th place after 11 Bundesliga rounds. However, recent results have given fans hope.

In their last match, Hoffenheim secured an incredible 4-3 home win over RB Leipzig. This game marked the debut of new head coach Christian Ilzer, who joined from Sturm Graz.

In the Europa League, Hoffenheim has one more point than Braga. In their most recent game, they salvaged a last-minute draw against Lyon (2-2). Before that, they lost to Porto (0-2), defeated Dynamo Kyiv (2-0), and drew with Midtjylland (1-1).
