The Portuguese team stepped confidently into the Europa League playoffs. In five rounds of the group stage Braga lost only once, when they made an unsuccessful visit to Leicester (0:4). After that the Gunners missed the victory over the Foxes in Portugal (3:3) and in the last round they dealt with AEK in Greece (4:2) without any problems. With ten points the team occupies the second position in the quartet. In the Portuguese championship Carlos Carvalyal’s charges unexpectedly lost to Belenenses (1:2), dropping to fourth place in the standings.
In their previous game against Dambulla Viiking, rain played spoil-sport for Jaffna Stallions as the heavy downpour disrupted proceedings. Vaadaa Machan were already in the lead before the umpire decided to bring the game to a close. Ultimately, both sides had to settle for a point as the match was ruled inconclusive. Jaffna Stallions remain top of the standings with nine points to their name, and will fancy their chances of toppling the table come season-end. They have a very strong batting lineup, led by the imperious Avishka Fernando, who will be looking to give Jaffna Stallions a head-start versus Kandy Tuskers. Well-stacked in the bowling set-up as well, this game should be a stroll in the park for the Jaffna Stallions. More predictions for today’s cricket match can be obtained from the link provided.
