Braga was able to score on Ukrainian soil and end the game draw (1:1) against Dynamo Kiev, the team that eliminated Manchester City.
Braga was able to eliminated Liverpool in the previous round, so in a way these are the two teams that eliminated both English teams.
Braga and Dynamo haven’t met before, but Braga has met recently another Ukrainian team in the group stage of Champions League, Shakhtar Donetsk. The team lost both games home and away (0:3, 0:2) so their overall record against Ukrainian teams is now W0 D1 L2. This is the furthest that Braga has ever gone in an European Competition, with a chance to go even further, as the advantage is on their side.
The team has won six out of the seven home games this season, without conceding a goal at all. Braga has scored 4 goals, since the team transferred down from Champions League to Europa League, and all 4 have been scored in the first half.
Dynamo Kiev eliminated Manchester City, despite the fact that they lost the away game with 0:1. Against Portuguese teams the Ukrainians away record reads W1 D0 L4, losing the first four games with a total goal ratio of 13:2, but their last away game ended the losing run, winning in Portugal against Porto with 1:0 in 2008.
Before their loss against Manchester City away, Dynamo had recorded 3 consecutive victories, including victories over BATE Borisov and Besiktas with the score of 4:1.
Braga won their game this weekend with 3:1 against Guimaraes, while Dynamo drew as a visitor against Metalurg Zaporizhya (1:1).
This is the only quarter final in Europa League that actually matters and would have some suspense. As you see from the stats, both teams have equal chances, so you would have to pick a direction. I would back Braga in this game for several reasons. The team was able to hold off Dynamo in Ukraine, and has been able to score a goal away. On their turn the team is now a host, giving them additional advantage. Dynamo has trouble against Portuguese teams in Portugal, despite their victory over Porto in 2008. My prediction would be Braga to win and advance to the semi finals. Good luck betting.
