Prediction: Monaco 2-1 Braga (Braga win 3-2 on aggregate)
We expect Monaco to use home advantage and get the win but with Braga’s forwards being in form; we see the visitors scoring as well.
Monaco should win the contest but due to their defensive frailties could miss the spot in the last 8.
Players to watch out for: Yedder, Tchouameni, Gomes and R Horta.
