Braga welcome Union Berlin to the Quarry in the Champions League on Wednesday in what could ultimately be a battle for third place.
The hosts must win in order to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages for the first time alive, while Union continue to seek a first win since August in any competition.
Victory here will also guarantee a Europa League spot, eliminating Union in the process, but a defeat for the home side will end their hopes of reaching the last 16 of this competition.
A fine recent record against German opposition could give Artur Jorge's side some confidence, as they won at the Olympiastadion in the reverse on matchday two to make it four wins from five versus Bundesliga clubs.
Despite going 2-0 down in the first half, Braga roared back, and two sensational goals from Bruma and Andre Castro, with the latter coming in stoppage time, turned the game around for a 3-2 win.
The two sides also faced off in last season's Europa League group stage, with Braga winning 1-0 here.
Attacking has undoubtedly been the strong point of Braga's play, as they have found the net in all but one of their 22 matches so far this season.
