Braga this season in the Europa League are taking half in brilliantly. Within the group stage they had been by some distance the finest group against grand opponents. They don’t appear to be doing so effectively domestically, dropping parts where they mustn’t.

Mountainous players – Joao Palhinha, the Horta brothers Andre and Ricardo, Bruno Viana and Nuno Sequeira. So Rangers must watch out. Braga believe some very correct technical players.

The largest dispute about this group is the game dynamic they keep on the self-discipline – the total lunge and the streak and the contrivance they care for the ball. Braga is a particular group from Porto. Porto straggle and play delivery and the total time play as favourites. Braga will capacity the game in a particular contrivance. Rangers will want to straggle and in parts of the game must boss it.
