Monaco welcomes Braga to the Stade Louis II stadium for this second leg tie in the Europa League Round of 16 . The French outfit lost their last match 1-0 to Strasbourg while Braga also lost 1-0 to Gil Vicente in their last match. Monaco are currently eighth in the French Ligue 1 and their best hope of qualifying for Europe next season is to win this competition. They face a mammoth task in this match after losing the first leg 2-0 away in Portugal. Monaco will need to win this match by a margin of three goals to go through to the next round or if they win by a two goal margin they will go to extra time. They can take confidence from the fact that they advanced in their last two European knockout matches after losing the first leg ties.

Braga are in pole position in this match and all they need to do to advance is avoid defeat by two or more goals. A defeat by a single goal would be good enough to progress to the quarter finals. Braga have only lost once in their last six matches across all competitions. Their away record though is not that great as they have lost seven of their last 11 matches. Braga have played French sides three times in away matches in European competitions and are yet to score a goal against them losing two and drawing one. They have lost their last six away matches in the Europa league knockout stage. Only Zenit St. Petersburg with seven losses has a worst record.
