What time does Braga vs Rangers kick off?
This Europa League Last 32 second leg will takes place tonight.
This match has been moved from its usual Thursday slot so as not to clash with Porto’s game with Leverkusen tomorrow.
It will kick off at 5pm UK time – that is the same time in Portugal but 12pm ET.
The match will be held at Estadio Municipal de Braga.
It is being played on Wednesday for security purposes, due to nearby Porto also playing at home this week.

What is the team news?

Vitor Tormena and Wallace are also sidelined.
Stat attack!
- The first leg was the first meeting between the two clubs
- Braga have only gotten past this stage on four occasions in the past – including reaching the final in 2011
- Rangers star Ianis Hagi is looking to emulate his father by winning Europe’s second competition – 20 years after Gheorghe won it with Galatasaray
What are the odds?
Braga are heavy favourites to beat Rangers, who are 3/1 to be victorious in Portugal.
Another goal for Hagi is being priced at 7/2, or 40/1 to grab a brace – repeating the feat from the Ibrox leg.
Yet, the match could still go to extra time if it finishes 3-2, which is also a 40/1 shot.
