Match backgroundAfter a breathtaking first leg in Glasgow, where Rangers came from two goals down to win 3-2 and inflict Braga's firstEuropean defeat of the season, the two teams meet again in the iconic Estádio Municipal hoping to become the firstside through to the UEFA Europa League round of 16.

• Braga amassed 14 points in Group K, finishing undefeated ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers, Beşiktaş andSlovan Bratislava, while Rangers negotiated their way through a highly competitive Group G, two wins, three drawsand a defeat enabling them to finish runners-up to Porto and ahead of Young Boys and Feyenoord.

Previous meetings• Rangers appeared to be on the ropes in the first leg when they fell two goals behind, the first a spectacular long-range strike from Braga skipper Fransérgio, but the Scottish club's new loan signing Ianis Hagi – watched on from thestands by his famous father Gheorghe – scored twice and substitute Joseph Aribo once, all within a 15-minute period,to engineer a famous Ibrox comeback.

• Braga were 3-0 winners against Celtic the last time they hosted a Scottish club, in the third qualifying round of the2010/11 UEFA Champions League, winning the tie 4-2 on aggregate. Their only other home game against Scottishopposition was a 2-2 draw against Hearts in the first round of the 2004/05 UEFA Cup, which followed a 1-3 first-legdefeat in Edinburgh.

• Rangers have already visited Portugal this season, drawing 1-1 at Porto on Matchday 3 thanks to an Alfredo Morelosequaliser. That result makes their all-time record in Portugal W2 D3 L3, with no defeats in their last four visits (W1D3), the most recent victory a memorable 2-0 success at Sporting CP in the second leg of the 2007/08 UEFA Cupquarter-final following a goalless first game at Ibrox.

Form guideBraga• Braga's 15th European qualification in the last 16 years was achieved with a fourth-placed finish in the 2018/19Portuguese Liga, a season in which their European campaign ended unusually early with elimination on away goalsby Zorya Luhansk in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.

• Brøndby (4-2 a, 3-1 h) and Spartak Moskva (1-0 h, 2-1 a) were both overcome in this season's qualifying phase totake Braga into the UEFA Europa League group stage for the fifth time. There they opened up with a 1-0 win atcompetition debutants Wolves before recording further victories against Beşiktaş (2-1 a, 3-1 h) and Slovan Bratislava(4-2 a) as well as draws at home to both Slovan (2-2) and Wolves (3-3).

• Braga are competing in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 for the fifth time. Their record at this stage of thecompetition is W2 L2, beating Lech Poznań in 2010/11 (0-1 a, 2-0 h) and Sion in 2015/16 (2-1 a, 2-2 h) but losing toBeşiktaş in 2011/12 (0-2 h, 1-0 a) and Marseille in 2017/18 (0-3 a, 1-0 h). They were runners-up in 2010/11, knockingout Liverpool and Benfica among others before losing the Dublin final 1-0 to domestic rivals Porto.

• Braga were unbeaten in 13 European matches (W9 D4) until the first-leg defeat in Glasgow, and have now won eightout of 11 this season. They are also on a run of eight European home games without defeat, since Ludogorets beatthem 2-0 on Matchday 3 of the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League – the only loss in their last 12 continental fixtures at theEstádio Municipal (W8 D3).

• Braga have won five and lost six of the 11 UEFA competition ties in which they suffered an away defeat in the firstleg. Although they have failed to qualify whenever they have lost the first leg by two goals or more, they have a 100%success rate after succumbing by just a one-goal margin, winning all five ties, most famously in the 2010/11 UEFAEuropa League semi-final against Benfica when they prevailed on away goals (1-2 a, 1-0 h). They have neverpreviously lost the first away leg 3-2.

Rangers• Rangers qualified for 2019/20 European competition as runners-up to Celtic in last season's Scottish Premiership.They also won four qualifying ties to reach the UEFA Europa League group stage for the first time, but just one winand six points prevented them from making further progress.

• Once again Rangers were obliged to come through four qualifiers to reach this season's group stage, goingundefeated in knocking out St Joseph's, Progrès Niederkorn, Midtjylland and Legia Warszawa. In Group G they beatFeyenoord and Porto at home and drew with both sides away but lost to a late winner at Young Boys before securingtheir qualification at the Swiss side's expense with a 1-1 draw at Ibrox on Matchday 6.

• The Gers' only previous UEFA Europa League round of 32 tie was also against Portuguese opposition – an awaygoals success against Sporting in 2010/11 (1-1 h, 2-2 a). They also won back-to-back UEFA Cup round of 32 ties in2006/07 (v Hapoel Tel-Aviv, 1-2 a, 4-0 h) and 2007/08 (v Panathinaikos, 0-0 h, 1-1 a), going on to reach the final inthe latter campaign.

• Rangers have yet to record a victory on the road in the UEFA Europa League proper (D5 L3), though they havedrawn both of their previous away fixtures in the competition's knockout phase. Their last European away win in thespring was that 2-0 success at Sporting 12 years ago. Indeed, that is the club's only post-Christmas victory outsideScotland in UEFA competition since they defeated Dinamo Moskva 3-2 in Barcelona to win the final of the 1971/72European Cup Winners' Cup.

• The Glasgow giants have won 35 of the 43 UEFA ties in which they have built a first-leg lead at home. Just once inthe last nine such ties have they failed to make further progress – against Progrès Niederkorn in the 2017/18 UEFAEuropa League first qualifying round (1-0 h, 0-2 a). Only on two previous occasions have they won the first leg 3-2 inGlasgow, and in each case the tie has been decided on away goals – once in their favour, against Sporting CP in thesecond round of their triumphant 1971/72 European Cup Winners' Cup campaign (3-4), and once to the benefit of theopposition, Levski Sofia winning the second leg of a 1993/94 UEFA Champions League first-round tie 2-1 in Bulgaria.
