Braga Form Guide: Recent Results and Table Position.

Braga is now fourth in the Portuguese league, trailing the traditional giant triplets of Sporting CP, Benfica, and Porto, hence they may be regarded the best of the rest. However, the ‘Arsenalists’ have struggled in Europe this season, finishing in a disappointing 27th position on the Europa League standings.

The Braguistas have only seven points from as many games, with two victories, one tie, and four defeats. As a result, the Portuguese will be eager for a victory, which may or may not be enough to propel them into the Top 24, depending on other outcomes.

Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results and Table Positions

Lazio has a clear path to the Round of 16 in Europe, while their opponents fear elimination.

Marco Baroni’s side has recently struggled domestically, with their most recent setback coming in the form of a loss to Fiorentina. Nonetheless, their continental trips have been nearly perfect.

Lazio are now at the top of the table and will most likely keep their position regardless of the outcome, due to a 3-point lead over their nearest opponent and a strong goal difference. Nonetheless, the Aquile will want to return home with a victory, even if just for the bragging rights.
