Braga vs Nottingham Forest – Tips, Predictions and 7/1 Bet Builder

Europa League | 22 January | 20:00
Venue: Estádio Municipal de Braga


Braga vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Braga and Nottingham Forest are separated by just two points in the Europa League table ahead of this important matchday seven clash in Portugal. The hosts arrive in positive spirits after edging past Tondela 1–0 away from home in Liga Portugal last weekend.

Recent results have been encouraging for Carlos Vicens’ side. Braga have suffered only two defeats in their last seven matches in all competitions, recording three wins and two draws in that run. Victories over Caldas, Benfica and Tondela, combined with losing just once so far in the Europa League, should give the Portuguese outfit plenty of confidence heading into Thursday night.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, earned a morale-boosting 0–0 draw at home to Premier League leaders Arsenal last weekend, but wins remain hard to come by for Sean Dyche’s side. The Tricky Trees have managed just one victory in their last seven matches across all competitions, a 2–1 away win at West Ham, while also suffering five defeats, including an FA Cup exit to Championship side Wrexham.

Forest’s European campaign has been mixed, but they remain within touching distance of the qualification places. However, their struggles for consistency and a stretched squad could make this trip to Braga a stern test.

Braga vs Nottingham Forest Bet Builder Prediction

Braga’s consistency in Europe and strong home form contrast with Nottingham Forest’s ongoing struggles to convert draws into wins. While Forest possess enough attacking quality to threaten, the hosts look better balanced and more settled, particularly in midfield. This should be a competitive contest, but Braga may have the edge over 90 minutes.

Conclusion

Braga’s solid European campaign and home advantage make them slight favourites against a Nottingham Forest side still searching for consistency. If the hosts can control midfield areas and limit Forest’s counter-attacking threat, they should be well placed to claim a vital three points in this closely matched Europa League encounter.
