Sp. Braga, a team always pushing for European glory, just got a clearer view of its next steps. The road through the Europa League qualifying rounds can be tricky. But a recent draw in Nyon, Switzerland, helped light the way forward.
To keep their European dream alive, Braga must first pass a tough test. They face Levski Sofia from Bulgaria in the second qualifying round. Coach Carlos Vicens knows his squad needs to be sharp for this crucial two-legged contest. Winning this match is the key to unlocking the next stage.
If Braga manages to get past the Bulgarian challenge, they already know who could be waiting. The draw revealed their potential opponent for the third qualifying round. It will be either Lugano from Switzerland or Cluj from Romania. Both teams present their own set of difficulties, making it an exciting prospect for Braga fans.
The first game against Levski Sofia is set for this Thursday. It kicks off at 6 PM, and Braga will play away in Bulgaria. The deciding second leg will be played in Braga on July 31, starting at 8 PM. Interestingly, the teams of Lugano and Cluj will also play their qualifying matches on these same dates, setting up their own path.
