LiontipsElfsborg vs. Braga. Prediction (odds 2.05) and bets on the Europa League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Before the start of the Europa League, Elfsborg was not considered a clear contender for a place in the playoff zone and does not look its best yet, but still has a chance. Oskar Hiljemark team started with a 2:3 away defeat to AZ, but already in the second round they created a sensation, beating Roma with a score of 1:0. In the last match, the "yellows" lost to Galatasaray with a score of 3:4, but gave a fight away to the Istanbul giant, thus ending up in 23rd place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad.

- Elfsborg have conceded in two of their three Europa League matches
Probable line-up : Petterson – Holmen, Bukhari, Yeghbe – Hedlund, B. Zeneli, Ouma, Hult – A. Zeneli, Baidu, Kassem.
Current form
Before the start of the Europa League, Braga was one of the obvious contenders for a place in the top eight – the Gunners have vast experience in the international arena and are capable of competing for a spot in the 1/8 finals in terms of player selection. Carlos Carvalhal’s team started with a 2:1 home win over Maccabi Tel Aviv, but so far this is all the Portuguese have achieved in the tournament. Having lost to Olympiacos (0:3) and Bodë/Glimt, Braga fell back to 27th place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Nyakite is disqualified. Bamba and Arrey-Mbi are injured.
Interesting trends for betting

2.80Tip and bets
After two defeats in a row, Braga will clearly be motivated and charged only for victory. In the last matches of the championship and the Portuguese League Cup, the Gunners looked very solid and produced a series of three victories in a row, managing to approach the important Europa League match in excellent shape. In terms of player selection, the visitors have a solid advantage and are quite capable of taking the maximum today.
We think that the hosts have no chance. The forecast is a victory for Braga . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on total
Braga are undoubtedly the favourites and will be determined today – despite a series of less than successful matches in the Europa League, the Gunners are more than effective in attack and are unlikely to remain without goals today. However, Elfsborg plays openly, regularly and scores a lot, the visitors’ defence is far from ideal, an exchange of goals will certainly take place.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.61
Bet on corners
Braga are the favourites and will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but Elfsborg are quite capable of responding at home, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.65
