The UEFA Europe Conference league is also back and many TOP32 games are going to be played on Thursday night. One of the most interesting matchups is going to be between Sporting Braga and Fiorentina. Braga during the autumn played in the Europa League but was the 3rd best team in the group with 10 points. Interesting that the team would qualify for the playoffs from 3 different groups as teams had 10 or fewer points. Fiorentina was already in the Conference league and got 13 points and 2nd place. In this game, I'm predicting that Braga is going to win.

A lot has changed since the group stage. Braga has been playing very well in Portugal as the team is 3rd best and is trying to get 2nd place which would allow playing in the Champions League next season. Since the restart of the season, Braga has 6 wins in 7 matches and the only loss was against Sporting on the road. At home, the team has beaten also Benfica. The team has played 9 times at home and has got 6 wins and they have allowed just 6 goals which is the 2nd-best result among all teams.

Fiorentina is struggling a lot all season long. Since the restart of the season, Fiorentina has just 1 win in 7 Serie A games. The only win was against Sassuolo and the draws were against Monza and Lazio while they lost to Roma, Torino, Bologna and Juventus. In standings, Fiorentina is just the 14th-best team with 6 wins and 6 draws in 22 games. On the road, the team has just 2 wins and 3 draws in 11 games, a total of 8 goals scored (tied for 3rd-worst) and 12 conceded.

Braga has won their last 8 games, scoring at least twice in 7 games and thrice in 4 games and they have won 7 out of the last 9 home games in the European competition. There are no injury problems for Braga and that is a very good sign. Fiorentina has struggled on their travels and is winless in their last 4 games, failing to score twice. The team is expected to travel without Antonio Barak, who missed his side's defeat to Juventus at the weekend with a stomach bug.

We can see that teams are in different shapes right now. This is a huge advantage for Braga. Yes, Fiorentina played well in the Conference League group stage but the opponents were a lower class while Braga is one of the best teams in Portugal. This series should start with a Braga's win.

欧足联欧洲联赛也将回归，许多TOP32的比赛将在周四晚上进行。最有趣的比赛之一将是布拉加竞技和佛罗伦萨之间的比赛。布拉加在秋季参加了欧联杯，但以10分排名小组第三。有趣的是，这支球队将从3个不同的小组获得季后赛资格，因为得分不超过10分。佛罗伦萨已经在联盟中得到了13分，排名第二。在这场比赛中，我预测布拉加会赢。

小组赛之后发生了很多变化。布拉加在葡萄牙的表现非常好，这支球队目前排名第三，他们正在努力获得第二名，这样下赛季就可以参加欧冠联赛了。自赛季重新开始以来，布拉加在7场比赛中取得6胜，唯一一场输球是在客场对阵体育。在主场，球队也击败了本菲卡。这支球队在主场打了9场比赛，取得了6场胜利，只丢了6球，在所有球队中排名第二。

佛罗伦萨整个赛季都在挣扎。自赛季重新开始以来，佛罗伦萨在7场意甲比赛中仅取得1胜。唯一的胜利是对萨索洛，平局是对蒙扎和拉齐奥，而他们输给了罗马，都灵，博洛尼亚和尤文图斯。在积分榜上，佛罗伦萨在22场比赛中仅以6胜6平排名第14。在客场，球队11场比赛仅取得2胜3平的战绩，共进8球(并列倒数第三)，丢12球。

布拉加在过去的8场比赛中取得了胜利，7场比赛至少进了2球，4场比赛至少进了3球，他们在过去的9个主场比赛中赢了7场。布拉加没有伤病问题，这是一个很好的迹象。佛罗伦萨在他们的旅途中很挣扎，在最近的4场比赛中一场未胜，也没有进两球。球队将缺席巴拉克的比赛，巴拉克因为胃病缺席了周末对阵尤文图斯的比赛。

我们可以看到现在各支球队都处于不同的状态。这是布拉加的巨大优势。是的，佛罗伦萨在联赛小组赛中表现出色，但对手水平较低，而布拉加是葡萄牙最好的球队之一。这个系列赛应该以布拉加的胜利开始。
