**Braga vs Genk Preview: Europa League Showdown at Estadio Braga Municipal**
Braga return to action in the Europa League on Thursday as they welcome Genk to Estadio Braga Municipal. Under the guidance of Carlos Vicens, Braga are one of just three teams to have maintained a 100% record in this season’s competition, and they’ll be aiming to keep that impressive run going.
The Portuguese side suffered a setback in their previous outing, falling 2-1 to Porto in the Primeira Liga despite creating several chances. Prior to that defeat, Braga were unbeaten in six straight matches (5 wins, 1 draw) since their 1-0 loss against Nacional on September 28. Their Europa League campaign, however, has been flawless so far, with victories over Feyenoord, Celtic, and Red Star Belgrade. Impressively, Braga have scored five goals and kept three clean sheets in their three group-stage matches.
On the other hand, Genk come into this fixture boosted by a narrow 1-0 win over Westerlo in the Belgian Jupiler League, courtesy of a first-half strike from South Korean international Hyeon-gyu Oh. Thorsten Fink’s men are now unbeaten in their last six games across all competitions, with three wins and three draws since October 3.
Genk currently sit seventh in the Jupiler League and started their Europa League campaign with a 1-0 win over Rangers. However, their momentum was checked with a 1-0 home defeat to Ferencvaros and a goalless draw against Real Betis in their subsequent group matches.
