Live Braga vs Benfica betting odds tips result and preview – UEFA Europa League Tips – 05-05-2011

On Thursday we will find out if two Portuguese teams will be playing in UEFA Europa League final this season. Benfica and Braga will clash in a fight for UEFA Europa League final on Thursday. Benfica have 2-1 lead from the first match and they are confident in their advance to the final. Braga have won only two of their last ten duels so Benfica is a definite favorite to proceed further in the competition.

Benfica’s coach Jorge Jesus is filled with trust in his squad and expresses optimism before the rematch with Braga. He said: “We have won the first match. It was like against PSG and Stuttgart, so this result at home is nothing new for us. We deserved more, at least to end with a two-goal advantage. Braga didn’t create any chances to score. Their goal was from a set-piece situation and they didn’t create many difficulties for us. We go to Braga better than we started the tie. Of course, I believe that I will go to Dublin, the result gives us that faith.”

However, Benfica midfielder Pablo Aimar warned his team-mates to stay on the ground and focused: “We knew that they would defend well – they came to prevent us from scoring. We created many chances to score, especially in the first half. A 2-1 advantage is narrow; the tie is still open.” Aimar will be suspended for the second-leg.

This should be exciting match, but Benfica is a favorite. Do not expect many goals.
