Rangers vs Braga Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Europa League 2025-26

The previous outing between these clubs ended in favour of the Gers.

Rangers FC are ready to have a face-off against SC Braga for their round 5 league phase contest of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa League. The Ibrox Stadium will witness this interesting clash.

The Scotland-based club are yet to secure a win in their European competition campaign this season. They have lost all four games and are going to be under pressure despite being at home. Rangers FC must come up with a different set of approaches if they want to secure a win in their next match.

The Arsenalists have won three of their first four games in the UEFA Europa League this season. They will be keen to secure yet another win, but it is not going to be an easy outing for them. SC Braga will be away from home and this can become a pressuring situation for them.
