Braga have a full squad available for selection with no injury concerns to report.
Stat Attack
- This is Wolves’ first meeting with Braga in all competitions.
- Wolves have won their last six home games in European competition since finishing runners-up to Tottenham Hotspur in the 1971-72 UEFA Cup.
- Braga have won just one of their last five European away trips (W1, D2, L2).
Prediction
Both teams are currently in similar form with domestic struggles whilst flying in Europe so I am expecting a close game here.
Wolves however look ready for a good European tilt under Espirito Santo as demonstrated by their qualifying performances, so I am going for a comfortable home win.
Prediction: Wolves 2-0 Braga
Result: Wolves 0-1 Braga
