Why Braga are favourites
Bookmakers offer 1.68 for a Braga win, 3.70 for a draw and 5.40 for a KAA Gent win.
- KAA Gent opened the league phase with a 1:0 win over Aarhus, but playing away from home and having less European experience leave the Portuguese side as favourites.
- The Belgian club beat Zulte Waregem 2:0 in their domestic league, but an away trip to seasoned European opponents remains a difficult test.
Form and Line-up Braga
Braga's results in the Portuguese league have been inconsistent: they lost 1:2 at home to Gil Vicente and drew 0:0 away to Santa Clara.
The Portuguese side's attacking output in Europe has been modest so far: their UEFA Conference League matches rank last for shots, with 16.29 per match.
- In each of their last 10 home matches across all competitions, Braga have allowed their opponents no more than four corners.
- Braga have not lost the corner count in 9 of their last 10 home matches across all competitions.
- Braga have committed fewer than 15.5 fouls in 9 of their last 10 home matches across all competitions.
Probable line-up (3-4-3): Bernardo Fontes, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Vítor Carvalho, Adrian Bajrami, Diogo Travassos, João Moutinho, Jean-Baptiste Gorby, Pau Víctor, Ricardo Orta, Diego Rodrigues, Jonas Wind.
Form and Line-up KAA Gent
The Belgian side are performing well in their domestic league, where they beat Standard Liège 2:1 at home.
KAA Gent head coach Rik De Mil highlights his side's solid defending, although they take time to make their advantage count.
- In 9 of KAA Gent's last 10 away matches in the UEFA Conference League, there have been fewer than 9.5 shots on target.
- KAA Gent have not had fewer yellow cards than their opponents in 9 of their last 10 away UEFA Conference League matches.
