Prediction published on 12/12/2024, 04:26  by Devesh Jaganath in Europa League Predictions

Two sides looking to maintain their playoff qualification spots in the Europa League will meet on Thursday when Roma play host to Sporting Braga at Stadio Olimpico. I Giallorossi are in 21st place in the League Phase standings while Os Arsenalistas are three spots above them in 18th. Let’s get into the match prediction!

Roma enter this fixture following a much-needed victory over the weekend when they overcame Lecce in the Serie A to snap a six-match winless run since the start of November. 

During that period, I Giallorossi played to two draws in this competition, 1-1 against Union Saint-Gilloise on matchday four before a last-minute comeback against Spurs last time out (2-2). 

However, the hosts are still unbeaten at home in this competition, earning four points from their two matches by way of a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao and a 1-0 victory over Dinamo Kyiv. 

Meanwhile, Sporting Braga secured an impressive 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim in their last Europa League match, which took their record to two wins, one draw and two defeats in five. 

Braguistas allowed a two-goal lead to slip over the weekend against Estoril but managed to hold on to a point (2-2), extending their unbeaten run across all competitions to four in the process. 

On the road, the visitors have been enjoying a solid run of form lately with four wins and a draw in their last five games, while they have only lost two of 13 away games this season.
