Union Saint Gilloise vs Braga Predictions

• Union Saint-Gilloise are unbeaten at home in the Europa League this season.
• The hosts have won six of their last seven home games in all competitions.
• Braga have earned just one point from a possible nine away from home in the Europa League.

Hosts can strengthen qualification prospects

Union Saint-Gilloise have had a difficult season so far, but they still have a good chance of making the Europa League knockout stages, and they can strengthen their bid for progression against 25th-place Sporting Braga on Thursday.

The Belgian side are unbeaten in their three Europa League home games this term and head into this tie having won six and drawn one of their last seven home games in all competitions.

Braga have also won the majority of their Europa League points at home, with six of their seven points coming on home soil. Away from home, they have lost 3-0 to Olympiakos and Roma, so Thursday’s hosts should fancy their chances.

Union Saint-Gilloise’s last game in this competition was a 2-1 win over Nice, and that was the same scoreline they beat Braga by in 2022. With the hosts conceding exactly once in their last two home games in this competition, a home win and a 2-1 correct score prediction looks appealing.
