In their fifth Europa League match of 2024-25, Portuguese side Braga will host Bundesliga team Hoffenheim at Estadio Municipal de Braga on Thursday. The Portuguese side are 26th in the Europa League table with four points and drew 1-1 with Elfsborg on November 7, while their opponents drew 2-2 with Lyon on the same date and are 19th with five points. © Imago Braga were dominant in the first half against Elfsborg considering they accumulated 66% possession and created two big chances in the opening 45 minutes, but though they eventually took the lead 67th minute, Elfsborg managed to net an equaliser in the 84th minute. While boss Carlos Carvalhal will be disappointed by the draw, he will at least take comfort from the fact his team are only behind 24th-placed Elfsborg, who occupy the final round of 16 playoff spot, due to goal difference. Carvalhal's side are currently fifth in the Primeira Liga with 20 points from 11 games, and their record of 19 goals scored and 11 conceded makes them the division's fourth best offensive and joint fifth best defensive club. The Archbishops have won one, drawn one and lost one of their three most recent matches, and have failed to achieve victory in any of their past three outings in the Europa League. Braga's home record has been strong in recent weeks, with the Portuguese side having triumphed in six of their last nine fixtures at Estadio Municipal de Braga. © Imago Opponents Hoffenheim come into the clash off the back of a thrilling 4-3 win against RB Leipzig on November 23, a match in which they trailed 1-0, 2-1 and 3-1 but scored a winner in the 87th minute. The result will have been particularly welcomed by manager Christian Ilzer given his team's game against Die Roten Bullen was his first in charge of the club. Die Kraichgauer are 13th in the Bundesliga with 12 points after 11 matchweeks, and the victory against third-placed Leipzig was just their third in the top flight. Hoffenheim are unbeaten in their last three games having drawn two and won one, and have achieved victory in one, drawn two and been defeated in one of their past four Europa League fixtures. Ilzer will have to hope he can turn around his team's fortunes on the road considering they are winless in their last seven outings away from home, drawing four and losing three. In fact, Hoffenheim have lost 12, drawn six and won just three of their past 21 away fixtures. © Imago Braga's only confirmed injury absentee is midfielder Rodrigo Zalazar, who will not make an appearance until early next month, so perhaps Carvalhal will select a double pivot consisting of Vitor Carvalho and Joao Moutinho . In defence, Braga are almost certain to persist with a back three, and centre-backs Joao Ferreira , Paulo Oliveira and Bright Arrey-Mbi are candidates to start. As for Hoffenheim, they will be without a number of players including defenders Christopher Lenz , Florian Grillitsch and Ozan Kabak . In their absence, expect Pavel Kaderabek , Arthur Chaves , Stanley N'Soki and Alexander Prass to be chosen to protect goalkeeper Oliver Baumann . Midfielders Grischa Promel and Finn Becker will also miss out, and this could mean Anton Stach and Tom Bischof partner each other again in the centre of the pitch, just as they did against Leipzig. Adam Hlozek , Andrej Kramaric , Mergim Berisha and Haris Tabakovic may start in attack considering forwards Ihlas Bebou , Marius Bulter and Max Moerstedt are not scheduled to return until later in December. Braga possible starting lineup: Hornicek; Ferreira, Oliveira, Arrey-Mbi; Fernandes, Carvalho, Moutinho, Martinez; Horta, Gharbi, Fernandez Hoffenheim possible starting lineup: Baumann; Kaderabek, Chaves, N'Soki, Prass; Stach, Bischof; Hlozek, Kramaric, Berisha; Tabakovic Given Braga have been strong at home, it is difficult to see them succumbing to defeat on Thursday, and the hosts will feel they can target the visitors' vulnerable defence. However, Hoffenheim will be full of confidence following their win last time out and it would not be surprising if they managed to earn a point.

NDP will not support Liberal GST holiday bill unless rebate expanded: SinghState health officials published a list of retailers in Los Angeles County that sold raw milk that has since been recalled after a retail sample of the product tested positive for bird flu virus. No one has reported illnesses from the lot of raw milk produced by Fresno-based dairy Raw Farm, the California Department of Public Health said. The dairy issued a voluntary recall of the lot — which was produced on Nov. 9 and has an expiration date of Nov. 27 — after Santa Clara health officials detected bird flu virus in a sample of raw milk purchased from a retail store. Officials with the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory System then tested and verified the results. Retailers that sold the impacted quart and half gallon sized fluid raw milk in L.A. County include: Officials may confirm more retailers as the investigation continues. The County of Santa Clara Public Health Laboratory has been testing raw milk from retail stores as a “second line of consumer protection,” the state health department said. Mark McAfee, the owner of Raw Farm, said every lot that has been tested by the company and the California Department of Food and Agriculture showed negative results for bird flu virus. Raw Farm alerted retailers to remove products from the impacted lot from their shelves and said consumers can return the product at stores for a replacement or refund. The state Department of Public Health said it is warning consumers from drinking any potentially contaminated raw milk from the affected lot because of the ongoing spread of bird flu in dairy cows and poultry as well as some cases that have infected people . “This is a very contentious time,” for raw milk, McAfee said. “I just know that there’s a grandly elevated political environment with RFK Jr. now wanting more raw milk for people in America,” he said. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

NDP will not support Liberal GST holiday bill unless rebate expanded: SinghBrian Hogan’s whole life changed in the blink of an eye after a single punch attack from a stranger on a night out left the then 32-year-old blind and in a wheelchair. Now, 15 years later, he will ring in the New Year in a new house of his own. It has been a long road, and one in which Brian was, in his own words, ‘rescued’ from a nursing home, where he spent three years. But thanks to Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Ireland, he moved into assisted living housing in Ennis, Co. Clare , where his rehabilitation continued, before he finally got the keys to his own home in Ennis through Anvers Housing , a partner organisation of ABI Ireland, this year. Now living independently for the first time – with help from carers and assistive technology – he feels ‘ecstatic’ and ambitious about the future. ‘I’m a very, very driven person,’ he said. ‘I’ve always been interested in wanting to do as much for myself as I can, and to get more and more independent. ‘Before my assault, I was fiercely independent, living in my own home and working full-time as a senior quantity surveyor, working in the UK, and then when you get a knockback, from a stranger, you find yourself needing full-time care. ‘Acquired Brain Injury Ireland, they rescued me out of a nursing home, set me up, gave me goals and milestones to reach. ‘Even something as simple as learning to get dressed myself in the morning, those little small steps. Each time I achieved something, I felt more independent. They saw it, and they would encourage me.’ He said that with charity’s help, over the course of 11 years, he had gone from walking one length of a 25-metre corridor, to two lengths, to 250 metres, as he got mentally and physically stronger. ‘I was always wanting to do more,’ he said. ‘Then I got my new home. The benefit is not just for me. My parents see their son, and my siblings see their brother, winning his life back, being his old self again. The smile is back on my face and that is priceless.’ It was while heading home from a club in the UK on a Saturday night in July 2009, when he was just 32 years old, that a single punch ended one way of life and began another for Brian. He was out with a group of people, and they decided to go back to his house for a nightcap. One man, a stranger to the group, started chatting with one of the girls and she invited him back to Brian’s home for a drink. ‘When I politely told him he wouldn’t be joining us, he punched me hard in the face – and that was it,’ he said. He was knocked unconscious when his head hit the ground but quickly came round. Believing he would be OK, he didn’t seek immediate medical attention and went home, not realising his brain was bleeding. When friends found him the following morning, covered in vomit and unconscious in his bed, they knew something was seriously wrong and called an ambulance. A scan revealed a massive brain bleed, which had built up in pressure overnight. After five hours in surgery, he was put into an induced coma for three months, to allow his condition to stabilise, while his family kept vigil at his bedside. He spent a year in a rehabilitation centre in the UK, where he learned how to walk and talk again. With the help of his family, he moved to a nursing home in Limerick. While closer to his childhood home, it wasn’t the right place for a man in his 30s. Speaking from his new home, he now wants to do more to raise awareness about how much ABI Ireland does for people, and also help people learn more about brain injury, and how easily it can happen. ‘If I had been more careful, and gone into hospital on the night I was assaulted, rather than going home and further compounding it [the injury], life could have been better for me now,’ he explained. ‘Also, being careful about who you socialise with. Making sure you are associating with someone who is going to look out for you.’ He added: ‘Where there’s life, there’s hope, and Acquired Brain Injury Ireland, they’ve kept that light of hope burning in my heart. They have really spurred me on.’ To learn more about the work of ABI Ireland and to find out how to help, visit the website at ABIIreland.ie .
