FC Sevilla Has Already Won The First Trophy For Their Club By Beating Barcelona 3-1 in A Match Of Spanish Super Cup Will They Reapeat Same Form Against Sporting Braga If They Want To qualify For The UEFA Champions League They Will Have To Beat Sporting Braga.
The market has underestimated outsiders Braga as they prepare to host Sevilla in the Champions League final qualifying round on Wednesday night.
Domingos Paciencia's side finished second in the Portuguese League last season and showed their quality in dispatching Celtic 3-0 at their Municipal Stadium in the first leg of the last round.
Tipped by some to become the first club since Boavista (2001) to break the Porto-Benfica-Sporting stranglehold on their domestic title, Braga made a winning start with a 3-1 victory over Portimonense last weekend and will be confident of testing Sevilla even though they're lacking goalkeeper Quim, defender Leo Fortunato and midfielder Mossoro.
Sevilla caught the eye by beating Barcelona 3-1 in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup (their equivalent of the Community Shield) last Saturday but Barcelona put out an under-strength line-up. Like Braga, Sevilla are definitely without three first-teamers, as Abdoulay Konko, Tiberio Guarente and Ivica Dragutinovic are all ruled out.
Sevilla pair Frederic Kanoute and Luis Fabiano are worth considering in the scoring markets, although I would wait for team news before backing either of them. Kanoute may be left on the bench as he is observing Ramadan and Luis Fabiano has been unsettled by transfer talk all summer.
Braga are 3.1 to win the first leg, with Sevilla 2.6 and the draw 3.35. The price on the Spanish visitors looks too short to me, so I'd back Braga with a 0-goal start on the Asian handicap at 2.13.
The Sevilla team is home to a star studded line up in Fabiano, Kanoute and Negredo. They will want to repeat their previous performances they displayed against Braga when they won 2-0 and in which Fabiano was instrumental. Their Captain Palop and Kanoute played back then and the team will benefit from their experience this time around. The fans will have to wait and see if the interest in Fabiano from Marseille will have any effect on his play.
Braga on the other hand will only be looking in one direction after their highest ever placing in their league last year. They’ve already seen off Celtic in a 3-0 home win and a 2-1 defeat at Celtic Park so they’re not afraid to play. Their new Brazilian signings Elton and Felipe could feature although the goalkeeper Felipe may need to have a time to settle first.
This is definitely a fixture where anything can happen on the night and you can see every bit of the action with live streams
Plenty To Braga About
Twelve months ago, when Braga were about to embark on their league campaign, coach Domingos Paciencia could barely have imagined facing Sevilla in a Champions League play-off tie. He had just taken the reins of the club and was about to embark on a journey that would see the Arsenalistas overhaul giants such as Sporting CP and Porto to challenge Benfica to the wire for the league title.
Braga may have come up short in that pursuit, but their consolation prize was a pass to play off for the right to break into Europe’s big-time.
Already they have eliminated the Scottish challenge of Celtic with ease. Though Braga would go down 2-1 in Glasgow, they moved into the lead in that game, which meant the Bhoys needed to score five times to turn the tie around after a simple 3-0 victory at the spectacular and wholly unique Estadio AXA.
Those encounters had been Braga’s only taste of competitive football this season prior to the weekend’s 3-1 home success over Portimonense, which carried them to the summit of the Portuguese Liga after one round of matches.
Neither Celtic nor Portimonense will have prepared Paciencia’s side for the challenge that lies ahead, though the side from the north of the country will feel that they overcame similarly sized obstacles on a regular basis last term.
Barcelona Beaters
Sevilla’s domestic season also got off to a 3-1 home success, though they were facing far sterner opposition in the form of Barcelona, albeit a watered down Blaugrana in the Spanish Super Cup. Pep Guardiola’s fringe players threatened something of an upset as they grabbed the lead at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, but ever dependable strike duo Luis Fabiano and Frederic Kanoute grabbed the goals as los Nervionenses grabbed a healthy lead for the return leg.
Over the course of the last week Fabiano has been linked with a move to French side Olympique de Marseille, though Sevilla have managed to resist the advances of the Ligue 1 champions and will seemingly be able to boast the Brazilian for the remainder of the season.
Not much has changed squad-wise for Antonio Alvarez’s side since they managed to claim fourth place in La Liga last term. Ultra-versatile Brazilian Adriano has left for Barcelona, replaced by a combination of Tiberio Guarente, who has signed on from Atalanta, and Mouhamadou Dabo, who arrives from Saint-Etienne.
Still boasting plenty of quality in their squad, Sevilla are a side who will feel they deserve to be amongst Europe’s best, but they must prove that over the course of two matches against Braga to earn the right to feature in the group stages.
TEAM NEWS
Braga
With an array of changes made over the course of the summer, the Braga squad is still settling down somewhat and will have to cope with a handful of injuries too. Goalkeeper Quim, who arrived in the summer as a replacement for Eduardo, is out and will be replaced by Felipe.
Marcio Mossoro is being slowly introduced into the team after undergoing an operation, while Leo Fortunato is the only other doubt in the Portuguese ranks.
Probable Starting XI: Felipe V; Miguel Garcia, Rodriguez, Moises, Elderson; Vandinho, Leandro Salino; Luis Aguiar, Alan, Matheus; Paulo Cesar
Sevilla
Coach Antonio Alvarez has already named his 19-man squad for the encounter in northern Portugal. Tiberio Guarente and long-term problem Abdoulay Konko are both missing, while there is no place in the roster for either Ivica Dragutinovic or Lautaro Acosta, who are both building towards full fitness after serious injuries.
Probable Starting XI: Palop; Dabo, Escude, Squillaci, Navarro; Perotti, Renato, Zokora, Navas; Fabiano, Kanoute
