[Europa League] MPT vs Braga - The visiting team will win again!

Braga
Match Stats

The "Blue and Whites" finished in a modest eighth place in the Superliga table last season, gathering only 40 points in 33 matches. On the other hand, Guy Luzon's team won the Israeli Cup, defeating Hapoel Be'er Sheva 1-0 in the final. This victory allowed the team to start in the Europa League qualification.


It must be acknowledged that the draw gave the Israelis a very tough opponent with extensive experience in European competitions. In the first match, Maccabi looked frankly helpless. The shots on target statistic alone - 9:0 - says it all. It should also be noted that prior to the trip to Portugal, Maccabi played in the Super Cup match, losing 0:2 to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The "Arsenalistas" performed at their usual level last season, finishing behind the top three in the Portuguese league. Arthur Jorge's team now faces another season in European competitions. Last season, Braga started in the Champions League, where they finished third in their group and moved into the Europa League playoffs.


In the home match against Qarabag, Braga surprisingly lost 2:4. Away, Braga tried to rectify the situation by winning 2:0, but Qarabag scored in extra time to advance. In the first match against Maccabi, Arthur Jorge's players looked very strong and could have scored more. Nevertheless, the 2:0 scoreline should be enough for the overall victory.

Prediction:  Braga -1.5
