[Europa League] Servette vs Braga - Braga is an experienced European campaigner, and the draw in the first leg likely doesn't change much for them.

Match Stats

The "Grenats" finished third in the Swiss Super League, trailing Young Boys by 13 points. However, they secured victory in the Swiss Cup, defeating Lugano in a penalty shootout in the final. This triumph ensured their participation in the Europa League, but the draw paired them against the experienced Portuguese side Braga.

In the first match against Braga, Servette performed very well and arguably deserved more than just a draw. It's likely that their positive performance was influenced by already being well into their season, having played four league matches at that point. Servette won their first three Super League games, but then suffered an away defeat to Lugano (1-3) and an even more crushing 0-6 loss at home to Basel last weekend.
The "Arsenalistas" performed at their usual level last season, finishing just behind the top three in the Portuguese league. This secured another season in European competitions for Artur Jorge’s side. Braga began their Europa League campaign with a qualifying tie against Israeli club Maccabi Petah Tikva.

In both legs, Braga’s defense was solid, not conceding a single goal. They won the home match 2-0 and then demolished the Israeli side 5-0 away. Last weekend, Braga kicked off their domestic league season, drawing 1-1 at home against Estrela.

Prediction: Braga -0.25
