FC Midtjylland have lost back-to-back games, which is not ideal preparation as they head into this massive Europa League tie. The Danish side are third in Group F, four points behind leaders Braga and two points off second place FK Crvena Zvezda. Defeat for them here, coupled with a win for FK Crvena Zvezda over bottom place Ludogorets Razgrad would spell the end of their European journey this season. Braga bounced back from their 6-1 defeat to Benfica before the international break with a 6-0 pummelling of anta Clara in the cup. They are two points clear at the top of Group F with two games to go and will secure their name in the next round with just a draw here. With three wins in a row in the group, they will be expected to win here. 1:3
Raphael Onyedika and Jens Cajuste are one booking away from suspension for FC Midtjylland. Jonas Lossl surprisingly got the nod in goal last time out in the Europa League and he will be keen to continue here. Paulinho and Juninho are options as the third centre-back, though the former could also play at left wing-back. David Carmo and Nuno Sequeira are long-term absentees for Braga. Diogo Leite and Al Musrati are one booking away from a one-match ban. Braga have switched between a back three and four in the Europa League this season. 21-year-old Vitor Oliveira will hope to feature here after scoring four in the cup at the weekend.
