Match preview

Leicester took control of Group G with a superb 4-0 victory at home to Braga earlier this month but may be on the wrong end of a backlash from the Portuguese side, who should be determined to put up a much better fight on matchday four.

Braga looked out of sorts at the King Power Stadium but responded superbly three days later by winning 3-2 against domestic title rivals Benfica at the Stadium of Light.

They are second in Portugal's top flight and remain well placed in the Europa League having taken six points from nine.

Braga's performance on matchday three was well below par but they are wily Europa League campaigners, having reached the knockout stage in 2017-18 and 2019-20. They could turn the tables on Leicester, who may be distracted by domestic matters.

Brendan Rodgers's side were poor in a 3-0 loss at injury-hit Liverpool last Sunday and their main focus will be on beating Fulham next Monday.

Key stat

Braga have won eight of their last nine fixtures.
