SC Braga vs Maccabi Petah Tikva Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Ian John in Europa League Predictions
SC Braga host Maccabi Petah Tikva in a Second Qualifying Round first leg tie in the Europa League. Let's take a look at the match statistics and offer a prediction for this European fixture.
The Minhotos have a surprisingly good record in European competition over the years and will start this tie as the clear favourites against their Israeli opponents. Maccabi Petah Tikva qualified for this competition by virtue of winning the Israel State Cup, beating Hapoel Be'er Sheva 1-0 in the final.
It's been a busy pre-season for Braga head coach Daniel Sousa. Star striker Abel Ruiz left the club for Girona in La Liga, but Braga have spent over €20 million bringing in players to bolster their squad for the season ahead. The decisions seem to have paid off as in five friendly matches, Braga have lost just once, winning three matches and drawing their most recent friendly 2-2 against La Liga opposition Rayo Vallecano.
Simon Banza will likely be the main goal threat after scoring 21 goals in 28 league games last season for Braga and two in two appearances in the Europa League.
Maccabi Petah Tikva's last competitive game was their Cup Final win over Hapoel Be'er Sheva, but their warm-up for this tie hasn't gone well. They were beaten 2-1 by Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia in their first and only friendly this summer, and last week were beaten 2-0 by Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the Israeli Super Cup Final.
Manager Dan Roman will know his team is up against a Braga side that reached the final of this competition in 2011 and has won 61 of its 139 games played in the Europa League (31 draws).
The winner of this tie will face Swiss side Servette in the Third Qualifying Round.
