Union Saint-Gilloise will welcome Braga to Stade Joseph Marien on matchday four of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday (October 13).
The hosts have a 100% record in the competition, recording a 2-1 away win over the Portuguese club last week. Abel Ruiz opened the scoring for Braga, but Gustaf Nilsson bagged a late brace off the bench to help Saint-Gilloise to a win.
Saint-Gilloise, meanwhile, held their nerves in a top-of-the-table clash and lead Braga by three points in the Group D standings. They continued their winning ways in the Belgian Pro League with a 2-1 win over Cercle Brugge on Sunday.
Braga, meanwhile, fell to their second Primeira Liga loss of the campaign on Sunday, losing 1-0 at home to Chaves. It was their third defeat in a row, so they will look to bounce back to winning ways.
