Braga hosts Spartak Moscow in the first leg of the Europa League qualification finals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 22nd at Estádio Municipal de Braga (Braga)
Braga has already held three official matches in this season, and they all look alike. And they are similar in their high scoring. In the last round of the Europa League, the Portuguese won Danish Brondby 4-2 away and 3-1 at home. In the Portuguese championship, the team started with a 3-1 victory over Moreirence. It looks like Ricardo Sa Pinto’s men have missed football, and now they are playing with great pleasure in the attack, sometimes even forgetting about defense. Such a game is not quite typical of Braga because it usually preferred defensive football, but the team may have decided to change the game at the start of the new season. Well, considering that Sa Pinto’s players will meet a team like Spartak, and Spartak is now famous for its leaky defense and not a bad attack, we can surely expect another scoring match with the participation of Braga!

Well, Spartak looks like Braga in terms of scoring at the start of the season. Only there is one and a huge BUT! Braga won all its scoring matches in the end, even conceding a couple of goals per match. It cannot be said about Spartak, which already, to put it mildly, did not get points in the championship more than once in this season... The Moscow team had certain problems with Swiss Thun in the last round, winning 5-3 in total. Three goals from a modest alpine club… It is definitely a lot! But Braga also conceded three and also not from the monster of European football, in the person of Danish Brondby. So, the Portuguese and the Russian team are very similar at the start of the season. The attack works quite well, but the defense fails, and fails very much! So, the attacking lines will clearly have expanse in this confrontation. Schürrle and the company can clearly count on a couple of goals scored in this match. Braga has an African attack in the person of Wilson and Hassan, which can score a couple of goals with the support of the Portuguese.
The match should turn out scoring. The attack of the teams is much stronger than the defensive lines. And you can even try to bet on something like Over 4.5 goals scored. But I decided to offer an option for a pretty good coefficient, which can safely be called iron! Namely, Over 2! I don’t know what should happen so that the teams would not score at least 2-3 goals for two!
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
