Sporting Braga have traveled here for an interesting Europa League fight against Leicester City. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!
It's no vacation for neither Leicester City nor Sporting Braga as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Sporting Braga have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Leicester City form and stats
Three Premier League home games done for Leicester City, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses in this competition. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Leicester, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Leicester drew their last game, also a home match. Sporting Braga was the opponent, 0-0 the score. In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Leeds United with a 4-1 scoreline.
The Leicester City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Leicester City are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Sporting Braga form and stats
They also participated in Europa League last season. This ended in the 16th finals.It's gone fairly well in the Primeira Liga away games so far for Sporting Braga with six points collected from three matches. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 2W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. The fact that Braga have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Braga love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Braga goalkeeper Matheus Lima Magalhaes is eager to challenge this, with his 184 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Braga are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Leicester City. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Famalicao.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Sporting Braga are regular goalscorers on their travels. 3 goals have been conceded by Braga in these games.
