THE Europa League has been a salvation for Wolves amid a poor start to the Premier League season.

Nuno's side are second-bottom of their domestic table with three points from five games but on the continent they've been flying, winning both legs of all three ties to charge into the group phase in their first European campaign since 1980-81.

A victory over Portuguese visitors Braga would help restore confidence after back-to-back losses to Everton and Chelsea that saw them ship eight goals.

Like the hosts, Braga have been impressive in Europe and shaky on the domestic front, where they sit third bottom. They have negotiated two tricky ties against Brondby and Spartak Moscow and three of the four legs went over 2.5 goals.

Wolves' last five outings in Europe also featured at least three goals and the 21-20 for that mark to be reached again is worth taking.

Wolves ought to extend their winning streak in the competition but are a tad skinny at 8-13, so go the home side and over 1.5 goals at evens with Coral as they have scored 2+ in all six.

Moroccan midfielder Romain Saiss will look to set the tone for Nuno's men with a dominant display, and averaged a booking every 3.357 games last season. He has three in nine so far this term, so consider him to collect a card at 11-4 with Betfair.

In the goalscoring stakes, Raul Jimenez leads the way with six goals in his six Europa League apperances, with the Mexican striker chalked up at 11-8 with Skybet to add to that tally and 37-10 with Marathonbet to break the deadlock.

Braga forward Ricardo Horta – with four Europa League strikes in three games – looks a value punt at 5-1 to net any time.
