Freiburg vs Braga: Preview

Freiburg have already been in this position. In the round of 16, they lost 1–0 in the away leg at Genk and needed a win in the second leg to go through. They won the home leg 5–1, and a tie that Genk led for nearly 90 minutes ended up 5–2 on aggregate.

Braga's only second leg away from home in the previous two rounds came in the quarter-final. They drew at home against Real Betis and were 2–0 down on the night in Seville before powering back to win 4–2 and set up this semi-final against the Bundesliga side.

Carlos Vicens' team are already in uncharted territory in Europe. This is the first time Braga have been past the quarter-finals of a continental competition, and the fact that they're only a draw away from the final is bound to influence how the former Manchester City assistant head coach approaches the second leg.

Braga are looking to secure a Conference League place through their league position and may have slightly taken their eye off the ball domestically, following a four-game unbeaten run with dropped points in two eminently winnable fixtures.

Perhaps the most damaging thing about the first leg for Freiburg is that they were so close to coming away from Portugal with the tie balanced at 1–1, and every chance to make home advantage tell in the second leg.

Promising Ivorian midfielder Mario Dorgeles, a graduate of the feted Right to Dream Academy and, by extension, Danish side Nordsjælland, scored in the second minute of stoppage time to give Braga an edge after the first game.

Freiburg drew with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga at the weekend but had lost their previous three in all competitions.

Julian Schuster's men are also in their league's Conference League spot with no hope of improving on it. With a Champions League place 180 minutes away, they'll be as keen as Aston Villa in the other semi-final to dig out some form and overturn a first-leg deficit.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Freiburg 1-1 Braga

Dorgeles' late goal in Portugal could make all the difference for Braga.
