UEFA EL——Sporting Braga VS Maccabi Tel Aviv

 

 

Following their last performance, Braga will be looking for more of the same after defeating Nacional 0-3 in Primeira Liga. Carlos Carvalhal's Braga have been rewarded for their efforts on goal ten times in their last six games. In contrast, they have conceded six goals in those games.

 

Maccabi Tel Aviv comes into this game off a 0-2 Ligat HaAl victory against FC Ashdod. At least three goals have been scored in five of Maccabi Tel Aviv's past six games. The average number of goals scored per match over that time period was 3.17, with Maccabi Tel Aviv scoring an average of 2.83. We'll have to see if this trend can be continued here.

 

In this encounter, we believe Braga will be able to produce a respectable amount of opportunities and shots on goal. At the same time, Maccabi Tel Aviv may struggle to score their own goal, however we believe they will manage to get on the scoreboard.

Braga is currently sitting in the fourth position of the Primeira League standings, having the same points as their closest pursuit, Vitoria de Guimaraes, in fifth place.

Meanwhile, Sporting CP has a relatively easy path to secure a comfortable victory in the previous Primeira League round against Vizela at Estádio Do Vizela, when they rose from the lag of one goal to win a landslide victory 5-2.

UEFA Europa League/ Sporting Braga Vs Union Berlin

 

 

Analysis:

Pick 1

 

Pick Under 3

 

Sporting Braga and Union Berlin will meet each other in one of the most exciting games of Matchday No 2 in the whole UEFA Europa League program this Thursday.

 

Both teams got off to phenomenal starts in their respective domestic leagues. Braga are two points shy of Benfica at the top of the Primeira Liga standings with a fantastic record of five wins and one draw in the inaugural six rounds.

 

Union Berlin, on the other side, are shocking German Bundesliga leaders with four wins and two draws in the opening six Gameweeks.

 

It is worth noting that Union Berlin have already faced the likes of Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig (two of the strongest teams in the country alongside Borussia Dortmund) in these six opening affairs of the new campaign.

 

However, Urs Fischer’s men did not deliver the goods on the opening day of the UEFA Europa League, falling 0-1 at home to Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise.

 

The Swiss manager has clearly shifted the orientation towards defense of late since his men have played three consecutive low-scoring matches across competitions.

 

We did not see too many chances at all in Union Berlin’s mentioned loss to Union Saint-Gilloise seven days ago.

 

Fischer’s troops allowed just one goal in the last two Bundesliga outings despite facing Bayern Munich and FC Cologne in the process.

 

Braga, on the other side, opened their Europa League adventure in Group D with an easy 0-2 victory against Malmo on Swedish soil.
