An exciting game awaits us on Thursday night at the Estádio Municipal de Braga, where SC Braga play host to Levski Sofia in the second leg of the second qualifying round of the Champions League. This match is set to be an intriguing affair after the first leg in the Bulgarian capital ended in a goalless draw. The visitors will be feeling confident about securing a win, but it won't be easy as Braga are unbeaten in ten home matches.

Europa League
The only previous meeting between these two teams took place last Thursday at Levski Sofia's home ground that ended with a goalless draw. It was a deserved result for both sides, as the statistics were almost identical. Braga had four corners compared to Levski Sofia’s three, but the Bulgarians had seven attempts compared to Braga’s six.
Braga team news
Braga have responded well after finishing last season with four consecutive draws. The Arsenalistas won all five of their pre-season friendlies, scoring at least twice in all but one of the encounters, and also kept three clean sheets.
After this five-game winning run came to an end in the first leg last Thursday, head coach Carlos Vicens will be eager for a response, and his side are great to watch at home. They are unbeaten in their last ten home games—winning eight and keeping five clean sheets.
Jonatas Noro missed the first leg due to injury and Thursday’s game comes too soon for the centre-back.

Levski Sofia team news
Thursday’s game will be Levski Sofia’s third European fixture of the season. The Bulgarians drew both legs of the first qualifying round against Hapoel Beer Sheva, before winning 3:1 on penalties.
They responded with a 5:0 win over Montana in the First League, but were unable to secure a win in Europe in the first leg of the second qualifying round of the Champions League.
The Blues extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to 12 last weekend with another league win, but can they pass Thursday’s test in Portugal?
Head coach Julio Velázquez prepares for his side's clash with Braga unscathed by injuries or suspensions. Mustapha Sangaré scored their only European goal so far this season and is expected to lead the line alongside Petkov and Kirilov.

Prediction
Braga bring a seven-match unbeaten run into this game, and they have an excellent home record. The Archbishops won eight of their last ten home fixtures whilst also demonstrating defensive solidity during that period. Considering they kept five clean sheets, and that Levski Sofia have only scored once in their last four European matches, I don't expect both teams to score.
Three reasons we don’t expect both teams to score in this game
- Braga kept a clean sheet in four of their last six fixtures.
- Levski Sofia failed to score in three of their last four European matches.
- Brag kept a clean sheet in five of their last ten home matches.
