Sporting Braga will play the first leg of their Europa League qualifier against Lincoln Red Imps in Portugal, but the Portuguese side will start the tie against the Gibraltarians as the 'away' team, with the 'Red Devils' moving the match to Faro.
It will be a curious quirk of fate, but Sporting Braga will be both 'away' and at 'home'. How can that be? It's a peculiar situation for the Portuguese team, who are up against Lincoln Red Imps in the first leg of the final qualifying round for the Europa League.
It turns out that the Gibraltarian outfit have relocated to the Estadio Algarve, in Faro, to play their continental fixtures. The Victoria Stadium is out of commission until further notice, and the Europa Sports Park doesn't meet UEFA's minimum standards.
Therefore, Sporting Braga will play the entire tie on Portuguese soil. The team managed by Spaniard Carlos Vicens will be hoping to get a positive result 'away from home' ahead of the return leg at the Estadio Municipal de Braga.
Whatever happens, both teams are guaranteed a place in European competition this season. The winner will progress to the Europa League, while the loser will have to settle for a place in the Conference League.
