Steven Gerrard's team approaches the Europa League's play-off, which is a great achievement for the team as it basically has exceeded its limits. Rangers, however, approach this match not in the best shape. The team has suffered a staggering defeat against Kilmarnock.

Braga, on the other hand, not only performs almost perfectly in Europe, but also does well at home. The team has made it into the third place by defeating Benfica. Technically, Braga is superior to Rangers. The offence's leader, Ricardo Horta, is likely to be purchased by a top-tier club in the next season. It is rather obscure that the hosts favour the hosts: the Portuguese are expected to not lose at the very least. The chances of winning are rather equal. Rangers would be satisfied with a draw, so the hosts are likely to be conservative in their performance.
