S.C. Braga vs Maccabi Petah Tikva F.C. Prediction 25 July 2024
Added on 23 July, 2024
Last year's Champions League group stage participants Braga and the much more modest Maccabi Petah Tikva will play each other in the second round of Europa League qualifying.
The fourth place in the Portuguese Primeira Liga is fully consistent with the level of today's Braga, which regularly reaches the playoff rounds in European competition. It should be noted that in the recent past, the Gunsmiths played a number of friendly games with Sion (3:1), Lausanne Ouchy (1:0), Lausanne (3:1), Moreirense (0:2), Braga B (4:1), Anderlecht (2:1) and Rayo Vallecano (2:2).
Back at the end of May, Maccabi Petah Tikva pulled out a lucky ticket to the Europa League, beating Hapoel Be'er Sheva 1:0 in the Israeli Cup final. After that, the White-Blues lost 1:2 to CSKA Sofia in the control match, as well as 0:2 to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the country's Super Cup.
The obvious favorites of this pair are the hosts, whose gaming potential is many times higher. We wouldn’t be surprised if Braga end up celebrating the victory with at least a double lead.
