Something To Braga About

The French big guns are six points behind their Portuguese guests and can't back up their heavy favouritism.

Braga are one of only three sides still boasting 100% records in this season’s Europa League and we should back them to win yet again when best odds of 4/1 (Bet365) are available.

The reason for the price is that Marseilles are seen as a big fish in this competition but they have done little to back up their reputation thus far after two defeats in three outings.

When these sides met a fortnight ago the second half came alive with five goals in the final half hour. The French side came back from 2-0 to 2-2 only for the Portuguese high flyers to pinch it late on through Alan.

Even more concerning for Marseilles, they lost 1-0 at home to Czech outfit Liberec at the start of last month.

Things aren’t much better domestically where they still stand only 12th in Ligue 1. The 10-time champions must be opposed at the Stade Velodrome.
