Os Arsenalistas have the edge
Match situation
SC Braga have the upper hand in this UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 after beating FK Austria Wien 2-0 in the first-leg of this second round tie at home, so Os Arsenalistas are rightly favored by the bookmakers for Thursday's rematch at 1.92. The Portuguese side have scored seven goals in their away games this term for an average of 1.75 per away game and have the momentum from the opening leg win to close this out.
Austria's outlook
Stephan Helm's side are a well-organised, tough to break down team that likes to get the ball forward quickly in vertical play or from set pieces. Kelvin Boateng's two goals in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 are a live wire threat up top, but a defeat, and the manner in which it was done means that Die Veilchen face a difficult task this week.
Braga style
Carlos Vicens' men like to play possession football and overload the flanks before patiently probing for openings in the center of the pitch. They should enjoy success against Austria's compact shape and the visitors have been in superior form to their hosts this season, winning six and drawing four of their last ten in all competitions.
Braga to get the job done
Braga are the best side in the matchup and have won three and drawn two of their last five in all competitions, capped off by the 2-0 home victory over Austria Wien.
But Austria Wien are a compact, organized side and could make this a stubborn match with a low scoring game, so under 2.5 goals at 1.98 is a solid secondary bet to the Braga win.
- Ricardo Horta has been their biggest threat in this competition, scoring three goals in his four appearances, while Pau Victor has added three to Braga's last nine in all competitions in his last five appearances.
- With Braga boasting a 1.8 record on the road and Austria conceding 2.00 goals per home game, Os Arsenalistas should be able to control this tie in Vienna.
