Feyenoord travel to Portugal to take on Braga on MD1 of the Europa League league phase on Wednesday, and our betting tips can be backed in a 7/1 bet builder.
MD1 of the Europa League league phase gets underway on Wednesday, and Liga Portugal side Braga host Eredivisie outfit Feyenoord in one of the standout fixtures of the round at 20:00.
The hosts have enjoyed a decent start to the campaign, currently sitting in seventh place in the Portuguese top-flight table after two wins, three draws and a loss in their opening six games.
They head into continental play in poor form, however, having failed to record a victory in each of their last four domestic matches. They drew with Vitoria last time out, which followed on from draws against AVS and Rio Ave, as well as a loss against Gil Vicente.
Braga are narrow 5/4 favourites with UK betting sites despite underwhelming in recent weeks.
As for Robin van Persie’s Feyenoord side, they are priced at 2/1 to come away with three points, and they head into the tie boasting an impressive unbeaten record in the Dutch top-flight.
Thus far, they have defeated the likes of NAC Breda, Excelsior, Sparta Rotterdam, Heerenveen and Fortuna Sittard and drew 3-3 against AZ Alkmaar in their most recent outing.
It’s a return that sees them sit top of the table, three points ahead of PSV and four clear of Ajax.
Braga vs Feyenoord Bet Builder Tips
- Feyenoord to Win @ 2/1
- Ayase Ueda to Score at Any Time @ 15/8
- Fran Navarro – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 2/5
Feyenoord to Win @ 2/1
Our first tip is to back Feyenoord to come out on top in Portugal.
The visitors are the form team ahead of the match, and we’re expecting them to build on their recent domestic showings with a strong performance in Europe to kickstart the league phase.
Their high-intensity style and quality in attack should cause plenty of problems for Braga and give them a real chance of earning three points at good value 2/1 odds.
Additionally, they’ll be desperate to get a win here, as they face a tough fixture on MD2.
The Europa League league phase draw revealed that they will take on Aston Villa on the second matchday. They are also due to take on Scottish champions Celtic, however that’s not until MD5.
Ayase Ueda to Score at Any Time @ 15/8
Next up, we’re tipping Japanese forward Ayase Ueda to score at any time on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old has started the season strongly, netting five goals in six league appearances for Feyenoord thus far, including one in the win over Fortuna Sittard last week.
At a price of 15/8, Ueda looks to be one of the standout candidates to get on the scoresheet.
Fran Navarro – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 2/5
Finally, we’re backing Braga forward Fran Navarro to register at least one shot on target.
The Spaniard has scored two goals in his last four league games, and having scored in his last match against Vitoria at the weekend, he is currently averaging 0.8 shots on target per game.
At 2/5, the Navarro is a prime candidate to test the Feyenoord stopper at least once here.
