Stats


  • Roma have won 11 of their last 14 home matches (Europa League).
  • Roma have won by 2 goals in 2 matches against Braga.
  • Braga have lost 2 of their last 4 matches (Europa League).

Head-to-Head


Roma have a 2-0 advantage against Braga.

Both matches were played in the 2020/21 Europa League intermediate stage, Roma winning 2-0 in Portugal and 3-1 in Italy.

Roma Form


Roma had a tumultuous start to the season which saw Daniele De Rossi sacked in September and replaced by Ivan Juric. Juric lasted until November when the club turned to 73-year-old Claudio Ranieri.

Ranieri was thrown in at the deep end, his side losing 1-0 at Napoli before a late Mats Hummels goal secured a 2-2 draw at Tottenham in the Europa League.

Roma lost 2-0 against Serie A leaders Atalanta but bounced back strong on Saturday. I Giallorossi beat Lecce 4-1 after enjoying 2.38-0.83 expected goals, Stephan El Shaarawy registering two assists.

Roma Injuries & Team News


Right-back Zeki Çelik has an adductor injury but star striker Artem Dovbyk could return from a fever.

Midfielder Bryan Cristante is a chance of regaining his place in the starting side.

Braga Form


Braga recently won three straight matches, starting with a 2-0 victory at Leixões in the Portuguese Cup. They beat Hoffenheim 3-0 in the Europa League despite having 9-15 shots at home.

Carlos Carvalhal’s side got back to Primeira Liga action with a 1-0 win at AVS where they had 69% possession, 20-6 shots and 3.25-0.85 expected goals.

The Warriors couldn’t make it four straight after surrendering a 2-0 lead against Estoril. Bruma bagged the opening two goals but they couldn’t close it out in front of their own fans.

Braga Injuries & Team News


Centre-back Paulo Oliveira remains out injured.

Midfielder Rodrigo Zalazar could return to the starting side here.

Verdict

Roma beat Lecce 4-1 on Saturday, their first win since Claudio Ranieri took charge. The Italian club can transfer that result to the Europa League and take all three points against Braga.
