Elfsborg will face Braga in the Europa League on Thursday at the Boras Arena. Both teams have had a slow start to the season, each earning three points from their first three matches.
Elfsborg had a memorable win against Roma but suffered defeats against AZ Alkmaar and Galatasaray. They are currently ranked 22nd in the table and are eager to secure a victory against Braga.
Braga, on the other hand, have been performing well in their recent matches, winning four out of their last five games. They will be looking to continue their winning streak in the Europa League.
In terms of team news, Elfsborg’s Per Frick is doubtful due to injury, while Braga’s Bright Arrey-Mbi is ruled out with a muscle injury. Sikou Niakate is suspended for Braga after being sent off in the previous match.
Both teams are expected to field strong lineups, with Elfsborg likely to include Michael Baidoo, who has been in good form with 15 goals this season. Braga will rely on Amine El Ouazzani, who scored his seventh goal last weekend.
It is predicted to be a close match with both teams having the potential to score goals. A draw seems like a likely outcome for this fixture.
