Fourth in the Liga Portugal Bwin, Braga are in an unstable phase this season, having lost two of their last five games. They have scored five goals and conceded six. In the current season they have 18 wins, seven draws and 11 losses in 36 games. The coach is the Portuguese Carlos Carvalhal, who is often speculated in Brazilian clubs but never worked in South America. Ukrainian Yuriy Vernydub is in charge of Sheriff, who played only one game in 2022 because the local league does not return until March. This makes 17 matches throughout the season, 15 of them in continental competitions. In all, they are 10 wins, four draws, and three losses.
... if Sheriff draws or wins, the Moldovan team advances
... Braga win by a two-goal margin, there will be extra time and, if necessary, penalties
... if Braga win by three goals or more, they qualify
Braga and Sheriff meet again after a week. The Moldovan team won the first leg 2-0, with goals from Sebastien Thill and Adama Traore, and therefore can lose by a goal difference and will qualify.
O Sheriff faz o primeiro jogo como visitante nesta edição de Uefa Europa League, afinal no início da temporada disputou a Champions League e ficou em 3º lugar na chave que tinha Inter de Milão, Real Madrid e Shakhtar Donetsk. Já o Braga disputa a Uefa Europa League desde a fase anterior e ficou em segundo lugar no grupo F, liderado pelo Estrela Vermelha, que assim avançou automaticamente para as oitavas de final.
