Braga vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction and Match Preview

This should be a cracking Europa League opener between two teams who’ve made it through some tricky qualifying rounds to reach this stage. Braga have been in decent form lately, bouncing back from a slow start to their domestic campaign with a tidy 3-0 win over Nacional last time out. Amine El Ouazzani has been leading the line well for them, chipping in with 5 goals so far this season.

Maccabi Tel Aviv, on the other hand, have been absolutely flying. They’re unbeaten in their first four Ligat ha’Al matches, winning them all while scoring 8 and conceding just 1. Dor Turgeman has been their main man up front, bagging 5 goals already. The Israelis also cruised through Europa League qualifying, thrashing Backa Topola 8-1 on aggregate in the playoff round.

This will be the first ever meeting between these two sides, so there’s no head-to-head history to speak of. But Maccabi Tel Aviv have a poor record against Portuguese opposition, losing 3 of their 4 previous matches. Braga will be confident of continuing that trend on home turf.

Key Stats

  • Braga are unbeaten in 6 Europa League qualifying matches this season, winning 4 and drawing 2.
  • Maccabi Tel Aviv have won all 4 of their Europa League qualifiers so far, scoring 13 goals and conceding just 2.
  • Braga defeated another Israeli team, Maccabi Petah Tikva, 7-0 on aggregate in the Europa League 2nd qualifying round.
  • In 4 previous games against Portuguese clubs, Maccabi Tel Aviv have lost 3 and won 1.

Prediction

This should be a close and entertaining affair, but I fancy Braga to edge it on home soil. Their recent form and pedigree in Europe gives them the edge, and I reckon they’ll have too much quality for the visiting Israelis. I’m going for a 2-1 win for the hosts.
