Braga to win

The final 6th round in the Europa League. It's the crucial match in this group F. After five rounds the Serbian team Crvena zvezda is the group leader with 10 pts, Braga is just behind with 9 while the Danish Midtjylland has collected 8 pts so far. So obviously for Zvezda even the draw is satisfying result while Braga must go for all three points. Note, in aim to finish Top 2, the draw could be enough for Portuguese team as well but only if Midtjylland has failed to win away in Bulgaria against last placed Ludogorets (1 point). I must give here the advantage to Braga. They were the highest rated team of this group before the competition started and in my opinion proved its highest quality in the so far games no matter Crvena zvezda is the current leader. I can't get rid of impression that Serbian team had plenty of luck. First of all I refer on the Matchday 1 when they have defeated Braga 2:1 at home. The Portuguese team even on away match was clearly better team on the pitch, had much more dangerous goal chances but didn't convert them. And when it seemed it will finish in 1:1 draw, Braga literally gifted the penalty. One of the Braga players made a penalty in situation that wasn't dangerous for goal and when the ball was going of the pitch. Crvena zvezda took advantage of this gift and from late penalty won all three points. Further more, away game in Denmark was also with plenty fortune for Serbian team. Again they were clearly weaker side on the pitch but came out with the point. This fortune must stop now and given on the problems in the Serbian team, I feel Braga is the right pick. Namely, Zvezda has problem in attack. They are without quality striker. The players they brought during the summer, Lois Diony as well Richairo Zivkovic are both far bellow required level for serious attacker. On the other hand, Pavkov who is here for many years, isn't anymore good as he was in the past. There is problem also in the midfield since one of the most important players, Sanogo is injured and didn't recover for this match. Zvezda has good players in face of Katai and Ivanic but I simply feel that isn't enough for good result in away game against strong home side like Braga is. Braga has won here 4:2 vs Ludogorets and 3:1 vs Midtjylland and now I expect 3 of 3 at home for them. Back Braga to win in 1x2 option.
