Braga Fighting for the Europa League
Braga are riding high with a spot in the Europa League final within touching distance. Trailing 2-0 at Real Betis in the quarter-final second leg, they came back to win 4-2 in Spain.
Carlos Vicens rotated his squad in a 2-1 defeat at Santa Clara. Rodrigo Zalazar returned to the side and scored first, but they fell away and ended with 0.15-2.55 xG in the Azores.
The Warriors hosted Freiburg in the Europa League semi-final first leg on Thursday. Demir Ege Tiknaz scored early but they were pegged back, Mario Dorgeles scoring in added time to secure a dramatic 2-1 victory.
Vicens spoke about facing Estoril: “We have to play because we still need points to achieve our objective. Estoril is a dangerous, very offensive team. They're coming off a series of negative results, but it's going to be a difficult game.
“We need to recover from this effort to attack the game with confidence. We'll be prepared because the group believes in the process, in themselves and in their teammates. They believe in the process, in the work.”
Estoril on the Slide
Estoril have lost five straight matches to slip into the bottom half of the table. They have scored 51 goals in Liga Portugal but conceded 52, highlighting their attacking philosophy.
The Canaries lost 1-0 at Moreirense in their last away game. Their attack went missing ending with one shot on target and 0.36 xG.
Ian Cathro’s side are coming off a 1-0 home defeat to Famalicao. Once again they were ineffective up front, ending with 2-6 shots on target and 0.44-1.15 xG.
The manager continues to be positive despite the losing streak: “Looking at what the team did, I really liked it. I really liked what we managed to do, once again, against a good team, because that's important.
“I think there's now a 14-point difference between us and Famalicão. I don't see that difference in the two teams on the field today, for example.”
