Braga and Feyenoord go head-to-head in their first game of the 2025-26 Europa League campaign on Wednesday. Both sides head into the midweek clash in contrasting form, with the Eredivisie outfit going unbeaten in their last five matches.

Braga failed to find their feet in the Portuguese Primeira Liga last Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Vitoria de Guimaraes at the Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques.

Carlos Vicens’ men have now gone four consecutive matches without a win in the league, losing once and claiming three draws since kicking off the season with back-to-back victories over newly-promoted sides Tondela and Alverca.

Braga now turn their attention to the Europa League, where they enjoyed a dominant qualifying run, seeing off Levski Sofia and CFR Cluj to reach the playoff round, where they thrashed Lincoln Red Imps 9-1 on aggregate.

Elsewhere, Feyenoord were left red-faced at the weekend when they were held to a 3-3 draw by AZ Alkmaar after conceding from the penalty spot in the 98th minute.

Prior to that, Robin van Persie's men kicked off the Eredivisie campaign with five wins from their opening five matches while scoring 11 goals and conceding once in that time.

Feyenoord now get going in the Europa League, having failed to reach the UEFA Champions League group stages after losing 6-4 on aggregate to Fenerbahce in the third round back in August.
