SC Braga vs The Owls. Official Matchday Thread.


Recommended Posts

Friendly number four, this time in sunny Portugal, home of King Carlos and half the team. Braga will push us hard. This will be a good test of how the side is shaping up for our coming promotion battle.

 

Tickets to get in are just 250 Euros each.

(I'm kidding. it's free entry)

 

In the 2000s, Braga gradually became one of Portugal's most successful clubs and have taken part with some success in European competitions, winning the last ever UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2008 and reaching the final of the UEFA Europa League in 2011. After finishing in second place for the only time to date in the 2009–10 Primeira Liga, Braga achieved a place in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its history by eliminating Celtic and Sevilla. Braga also qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in 2012–13 by eliminating Udinese.

 

FUN FACTS

 

Braga’s hooligan firm is the Ultras Red Boys. Founded by the Visigoths in the 6th century, they have a marked taste for nawtyness while at the same time headbanging to Sisters of Mercy, The Cult and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry.

 

Luckily, there will only be about three of them in attendance.

MATCHDAY FACTS

We lost 3-1 last time out in a friendly at theirs. So a bit of revenge is in order.

 

MINTYNESS REPORT

 

Minted enough that we could persuade Taylor to do a bit of pre match tightrope walking, before realising we were at the wrong ground…
