- SC Braga are unbeaten in their last ten matches in all competitions (Won 6, Drawn 4), a stretch that includes their 2-0 win over FK Austria Wien in the first leg of this tie.
- The Portuguese side are unbeaten in their four away games in all competitions this season (Won 3, Drawn 1), averaging 1.75 goals per game on their travels.
- Austria Wien have won three and lost two of their last five in all competitions, averaging 3.00 goals scored and 2.00 goals conceded at home this season.
A cagey affair in Vienna
SC Braga are in the driver's seat in their UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 fixture with FK Austria Wien after defeating Die Veilchen 2-0 in last week's first leg and the Portuguese outfit come into this fixture as 1.92 favourites for the result.
With Os Arsenalistas unbeaten in their ten matches in all competitions this term (Won 6, Drawn 4), Carlos Vicens' men are the team in form here, but they will be made to work for their victory on Thursday against an Austria Wien side that have won seven and lost just three of their ten.
Stephan Helm's side are a compact, pragmatic unit that can hurt opponents on the counter or from set pieces, while Kelvin Boateng's two goals in four fixtures in this competition represent the live wire element up front.
Free scoring Braga can grind out a victory
Ricardo Horta is Braga's main threat in this tie, but he's been kept quiet so far with just three goals in his four UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 fixtures to date. The hosts can keep things tight here, but their leaky record at home in all competitions this year (Won 3, Lost 1) and Braga's unbeaten record on their travels (Won 3, Drawn 1) points to an away victory.
A narrow Braga success is our main selection here, but Austria's shape and structure suggests that this won't be a long-distance away goal and that Die Veilchen can keep this fixture close, at least for a while.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.98 is our choice in the alternate market here, as it should be a cagey fixture if the hosts can stay in the tie. With Braga's quality, however, Os Arsenalistas should be able to squeeze out a win here, with Pau Victor a good man to follow after his three goals in Braga's last five in all competitions.
