Sporting Braga will play host to Union Berlin in Group C of the UEFA Champions League this Wednesday. Third placed Braga will be looking to keep their slim hopes alive against eliminated Union Berlin. Braga will be out to build on their 3-2 win over the German side in their last meeting. In the two Group C matches that have come after that win, Braga lost, putting their chances in jeopardy. A win here would not move Braga up, as they are four points behind second-placed Napoli. However, it will keep them in contention for a place in the second round should Napoli falter against Real Madrid. After managing just one win in four Group C matches, Braga’s fate is no longer in their hands, but they can play for a Europa League play-offs slot. Wins in their last two matches, more recently 4-1 against Portimonense should lift their confidence coming here. After two straight away matches, they will be happy to host this one. Braga’s last 10 matches have seen them post two losses only, both against Real Madrid. They’ve won six of the 10 matches.

Union Berlin’s Champions League debut hasn’t gone to plan. They stand eliminated going into the penultimate round of matches with just one point. Three losses in their opening matches in this group did them in. Union Berlin however rallied in their last group game to draw 1-1 with Napoli. David Fofana scored the lone goal for the Germans to help them register their first ever Champions League point. Union Berlin can now only play for a spot in the Europa League playoffs. They have this and their final game against Real Madrid to try keep their Champions League status. With just three wins in their 18 matches this season, it seems unlikely they’ll cause an upset here. Union Berlin started the season with three straight wins but haven't been able to add to that run. In their last 15 matches, Union Berlin have only avoided defeat on two occasions, both ending in draws.
