SC Braga vs Železničar Pančevo
📖 The Preview
Braga head into this second leg with a 1-0 aggregate lead and have been in decent nick lately, winning four of their last six. Playing at home with that cushion means they can be fairly disciplined and structured, and that suits a 1-0 outcome perfectly. Železničar need to score to progress, which opens them up, but they've been inconsistent enough that creating the goals they need looks like a stretch. Braga nicking one and shutting up shop feels like the natural way this plays out.
