SC Braga vs Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Ian John in Europa League Predictions
The spectacular Estadio Municipal de Braga will host Thursday’s Europa League clash between hosts Braga and visitors Maccabi Tel Aviv. Will the Arcebispos hand The Yellows a beating on home soil, or can the Israeli visitors pull of a shock in this match? Let’s see what our prediction makes of this intriguing showdown.
Braga come into this game with just one defeat all season. They have been very solid in European competition, winning four and drawing two of their six games in the Europa League qualifiers to comfortably reach the league stage.
They defeated Maccabi Petah Tikva (7-0), Servette (2-1) and then Rapid Vienna (4-3) on aggregate to reach this stage.
Israeli Champions Maccabi Tel Aviv have started the season well, winning all four of their league games and all of their Europa League fixtures. Their sole defeat was a 1-0 loss (2-1 on aggregate) to Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League qualifiers.
To reach the league stage, Maccabi defeated Panevezys 5-1 on aggregate and then were even more dominant in their Playoff tie, getting the better of Backa Topola 8-1 on aggregate over the two legs.
With a good pedigree of qualifying for the league stage, Maccabi Tel Aviv will be hoping to maintain their record of reaching the knockout phase of European competition in three of the last four years.

One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
