The first leg ended Sporting Braga-Bačka Topola 3-0. All is set for the decider in this Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round fixture!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Bačka Topola form and stats

Only two Super Liga home games for Bačka Topola so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Bačka Topola, as their goalkeeper Veljko Ilic has completely shut out the opponents for 191 minutes in the Super Liga.

Bačka Topola's last game was hosting Radnicki Kragujevac and winning 1-0.

Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Sporting Braga in the Champions League.

The manager Lazetić will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Javor Ivanjica in only three days.

At ATSV Arena, Bačka Topola has the goal stats of 4-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Sporting Braga form and stats

Braga's mission in Europa League last season failed in the group stage.

Sporting Braga have much to play for after their unpredictable defeat (1-2) to Famalicao in their previous match, played at their own home ground. Late heartbreak for Braga in the Famalicao match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Midfielder Horta was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.05. Horta scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 41 successful passes (of 48 total).

A home victory as predicted against Bačka Topola before that, in the Champions League.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Liga Portugal trip to Chaves.

Head 2 Head

Sporting Braga - Bačka Topola 3-0 was the output when this pair of contenders formerly did battle, earlier this season.
