Play on: UEFA Europa League
Date: Wednesday, May-18-2011
Stadium: Aviva Stadium
Kick Off time: 20:45 CET
Porto are clear favourites heading into the match but unfancied Braga have produced more than one giant-killing feat this season and manager Domingos Paciencia will have his side believing they can pull off another one in the club's maiden European final. Since taking over in 2009, the 42-year-old former Porto striker, for whom he scored over 100 goals, has broken 19 club records. Last season's second-place finish was the highest in Braga's history and this term his team have been the surprise package in Europe.
Paciencia's side beat Arsenal, Celtic and Sevilla in the Champions League before dropping into the Europa League to claim the scalps of former European champions Liverpool and Benfica. Braga might not be as pleasing on the eye as Porto but their clinical counter-attacking style gets results. A solid base, married with South American flair in attack, has proven to be a winning formula. But unfortunately Os Arsenalistas head into the final with question marks hanging over the fitness of defenders Rodriguez and Miguel Garcia and striker Paulo Cesar.
