Match Prediction- Leverkusen vs Atalanta Betting Tips and Match Prediction
After a miserable run of form, Monaco has begun to implode across all competitions and they now have their work cut out in both the Europa League and Ligue 1 if they are to salvage something positive from this season.
Over the last month, the Monegasques have won only one of their last five Ligue 1 matches, slipping seven points behind the European places as a result. They have also been eliminated from the Coupe de France by Nantes as well as suffering the 2-0 defeat against Braga in their Europa League knockout tie last week. The Monegasques have now lost each of their last four meetings against Portuguese opposition, conceding 11 goals and scoring only twice in the process. At least two goals will be required on home soil if they are to advance to the last eight of the Europa League for the first time.

Braga would have hoped to follow up their impressive European win with another in the Primeira Liga; however, they were surprisingly beaten 1-0 at home against Gil Vicente on Sunday, a result which has seen the latter move to within one point of Carlos Carvalhal’s side in fourth place. Excluding last weekend’s result, the Archbishops have enjoyed playing in front of their own supporters this season, but on the road, they have struggled, particularly in European competition.
Braga has lost each of their last six away games in the Europa League knockout stages, including three of their four matches on the road this season – only Zenit St Petersburg (seven) have ever been on a long run in the competition’s history. In addition, the Archbishops have previously faced French opposition three times away from home, but have failed to win or score on each occasion. Nevertheless, a draw or even defeat by a one-goal margin would be enough for the 2010-11 Europa League finalists to progress to the last eight on Thursday.

Monaco have struggled for goals of late, scoring in only one of their last three games, and they were frustrated in last week’s first leg. Another challenging affair could be on the cards for the hosts on Thursday.
Braga is expected to take a more cautious approach to the second leg and even if their French counterparts do breach their backline, they should have enough resilience in their side to hold on for victory on aggregate. Monaco appears to have run out of steam in recent weeks, managing just one win in their last seven games across competitions. While a thrilling contest could ensue, Braga is likely to hold out for a draw to reach the quarter-finals.
Monaco 1-1 Braga, as predicted by us.
