Braga should be able to dominate here.

Sheriff is a very weak team. They made a huge surprise winning in the Santiago Bernabeu 1:2 but it was a very lucky game, something that happens one in 1000 times.

Sheriff is one of the weakest teams in the tournament. Furthermore, they are in the winter break, which means two things: they haven't played an official match since December 11th (more than 2 months ago) and have lost several key players in the transfer market.

Danilo Arboleda (Al Ain), Frank Castañeda (released), Mihai Cioban, Maxim Cojocaru (released), Nichita Corneencov (released), Cristiano (Fluminense), Fernando Costanza (Krylya Sovetov Samara), Dimitrios Kolovos (Kocaelispor) are the players who left the team.

5 of them (Arboleda, Casteñeda, Cristiano, Costanza and Kolovos) were starters in the historical game vs Real Madrid, so we can agree that almost half of the lineup is out of the club. Also another starter like Dulanto (2nd captain) is out for this match (suspension).

Sheriff has played some friendlies against top moldavian teams in this period, but of course they haven’t the same level as Braga so the team has a huge lack of preparation for this important meeting.

On the other hand, Braga is against making a decent season and playing again in the final stages of a top European tournament. They will take a strong squad, including in-form winger Ricardo Horta.

Braga are sitting nine points below third-placed Benfica in the Portuguese league and already out of both domestic cups, coach Carlos Carvalhal has been left to ensure that Os Arcebispos go deep in this tournament. He may make some changes in the squad, like the great spanish striker Abel Ruiz or Yan Couto, on loan from Manchester City.

Sheriff will put a very weak squad, they have a lack of quality plus several players out of the team. For example their starter defenders Arboleda - Dulanto are both out. We must add the weak preparation they had, Braga should have a better fit for this match and this added to their higher quality, should be enough to win the match and take advantage of the second leg.

Sheriff isn’t ready to play this match at 100%: too many changes in the team and this will be the first official game for all the players together, along with the important number of key players who left the club in the transfer market and aren’t available today.

布拉加应该有能力统治这里。

警长是一支非常弱的队伍。他们以1:2的比分在伯纳乌取得了巨大的胜利，但这是一场非常幸运的比赛，这种事情发生的概率只有1000次。

警长队是比赛中最弱的队伍之一。此外，他们正在休寒假，这意味着两件事:自从12月11日(超过2个月前)以来，他们没有打过正式比赛，并且在转会市场上失去了几名关键球员。

丹尼洛·阿波莱达(阿尔·艾因)、弗兰克·Castañeda(释放)、米哈伊·乔班、马克西姆·科约卡鲁(释放)、尼科塔·科内encov(释放)、克里斯蒂亚诺(弗卢米嫩塞)、费尔南多·科斯坦萨(克里亚·索韦托夫·萨马拉)、迪米特里奥斯·科洛沃斯(科卡埃利斯波尔)等人离开了球队。

他们中的5人(Arboleda, Casteñeda, Cristiano, Costanza和Kolovos)在历史上对阵皇家马德里的比赛中都是首发球员，所以我们可以同意几乎一半的阵容都不在俱乐部。另外一个像杜兰托(第二队长)这样的先发球员也将缺席这场比赛(禁赛)。

警长在这段时间里和摩尔多瓦的顶级球队打了几场友谊赛，但当然他们的水平比不上布拉加，所以球队对这场重要的比赛准备不足。

另一方面，布拉加也不愿打出一个像样的赛季，并在欧洲顶级联赛的最后阶段再次出场。他们需要一支强大的队伍，包括状态良好的边锋里卡多·奥尔塔。

在葡萄牙联赛中，布拉加比排名第三的本菲卡低了9分，并且已经在两届杯赛中出局，主教练卡洛斯·卡瓦略将会留下来确保阿塞比斯波斯能够在本届杯赛中发挥更大的作用。他可能会在阵容中做出一些改变，比如从曼城租借来的西班牙前锋阿贝尔·鲁伊斯(Abel Ruiz)或严·库托(Yan Couto)。

治安官会放一个很弱的队伍，他们缺乏素质加上几个球员出局。比如他们的先发后卫阿尔博莱达-杜兰托都缺阵了。我们必须加上他们的准备不足，布拉加应该更适合这场比赛，这增加了他们的高质量，应该足以赢得比赛，并利用第二回合。

警长还没有准备好参加这场比赛:球队的变化太多了，这将是第一次所有球员一起参加的正式比赛，以及重要的数量的关键球员离开俱乐部在转会市场，今天不能参加。
