The two teams will have an equal chance of qualifying for the semi-finals of this competition, with the winner of their game on Friday, April 17 (KO 06:00 AEST) determining who advances.

Quick Picks

Our pick: Real Betis to win

Value bet: 'Over 2.5 goals'

Long shot: 'No' in the BTTS

Betting Preview

If the second leg is anything like the first, we could be in for an interesting game of soccer on Friday. The first leg saw two evenly matched teams play a competitive 90 minutes, meaning we could potentially require additional time in this one if they cannot be separated.

Braga took an early lead in the first half, with Florian Grillitsch scoring inside the opening five minutes. A Cucho Hernandez penalty in the second half would level the tie for the visitors and give them something to work with in the second leg.

When looking at the key stats of the previous encounter, Braga had seven shots on goal with three finding the target. Betis managed 10 attempts on Braga's goal, with six of them on target. The Portuguese dominated the ball much more, with 62% possession.

Heading into the game, Braga secured their place by finishing sixth, with five wins, two draws, and one defeat. They scored 11 goals and conceded just five in their eight games. Real Betis finished fourth on the same points total (17), with Betis boasting the same record, with 13 goals scored and seven conceded.

After the first leg of the Round of 16, both looked to be going out. Braga were 2-0 down to Ferencvaros but returned to Portugal to win 4-0; Betis lost away 1-0 to Panathinakios before winning 4-0 in the return leg.

Betting Markets to Watch

In the latest betting odds, Betis are considered heavy favourites to win this game. Indeed, they offer value in the moneyline market, as they have won each of their last four Europa League betting home matches. By contrast, Braga lost their last away game, the 2-0 defeat to Ferencvaros.

Goals are something that are likely in this game, as both teams know that they have to go for it in some form. As a result, we think there might be better value in the 'Over' rather than the 'Under 2.5 Goals' market. This is because the 'Over 2.5 Goals' market has hit in seven of Real Betis' last eight Europa League home matches.

If you are new to soccer betting, understanding metrics like expected goals explained can help you assess the quality of chances each team creates.

We think the most likely outcome is a Real Betis win. The Spaniards have been strong at home in the UEL, winning four of their five games and being unbeaten.

Our long shot is the 'No' outcome for the BTTS. This market has failed to hit in five of Braga's last six Europa League matches.
