Rangers vs Braga Odds & Picks – Europa League Quarterfinals Leg 2

• Rangers host Braga in the second leg of their Europa League tie on Thursday
• The Scottish club trails 1-0 after the first leg
• Read below for the latest Rangers vs Braga odds and our best bet

Rangers and Braga duel on April, 14th at Ibrox with a place in the Europa League semifinal on the line. Braga holds a 1-0 lead from the first leg and is priced at -162 in Europa League odds to progress. The contest last week was well balanced with each side registering six shots. While Rangers can be happy with their first leg performance, they will be thankful that the away goals rule has been abolished.

Braga is looking to make the last four of a European competition for the first time since they lost to Porto in the 2010-11 Europa League final. Rangers’ last semifinal appearance was in the 2007-08 UEFA Cup when they ultimately lost to Zenit in the final.

The spread has Rangers -1 out at +195. The home side need to win by two clear goals to progress. A one-goal victory would send the match to extra time and potentially penalties.

Kemar Roofe to Score Odds

Rangers prepared for this match with a 4-0 thrashing of St Mirren at the weekend. Alfredo Morelos is out for the campaign, but Kemar Roofe showed the club from Glasgow can still score plenty of goals. Roofe had a hat-trick by the 50-minute mark at the weekend, setting himself up for a big performance on Thursday night.

Primarily a substitute this season, the three goals against St Mirren took him to 10 in the league. He’s finding the net at an average of just under a goal per 100 minutes in the Scottish Premiership this term and has shown he can do it in Europe by scoring against Brondby earlier this season.

The Walsall native is a good value bet at +200 to score anytime. Bettors could also be tempted by Roofe to score two or more at +1300 after his production last time out.

Strong Braga Form

It’s four wins on the bounce for Braga including their first leg triumph. They have tasted defeat just once since February, 17th. A team that can keep the game tight when required, Braga have just three losses this season by two or more goals. One was in the Europa League against FC Sheriff and they have faced drubbings at the hands of Benfica and Boavista domestically.

As Rangers found in the first leg, Braga are a tough team to break down. They have conceded just six goals in their last 11 in all competitions, and only five teams in the Europa League have given up fewer expected goals per 90.

Unbeaten in five consecutive matches on the road, Braga head to Ibrox full of confidence.

Recent form undermines the hosts ahead of this one, however. They have lost three of five in all competitions and have just two wins from their last five at home. Braga are designed to frustrate opponents — we like the visitors to avoid defeat and book their place in the last four.

Pick: Braga win or draw (-118)
