Braga take on the visitors TSC in the first leg of UEFA Champions League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 8th at Estádio Municipal de Braga (Braga).
Braga managed to finish better than usual. The Archbishops have frequently won in cup formats, both in the classic cup and in the League Cup, especially in recent times. However, they have never managed to take the Primeira Liga title. At their peak in 2010, they settled for second place. Since then, they have not repeated that vice-championship but have secured themselves as the 4th force in the country, just behind the eternal giants, Porto, Sporting, and Benfica. However, they occasionally manage to compete with some of these favorites. The team under Arthur Jorge achieved this in the 2022/2023 season when Sporting stumbled. While not a rare bronze achievement, it secures their qualification for the Champions League qualification.

Bachka-Topola surprised themselves with their agility. TSC represents a small town in Vojvodina, where they have been playing football for at least 110 years, with a permanent local team established in 1913. A restart occurred in 2005 when they played at the semi-amateur level in the 4th division. They managed to climb to the top tier in 2019. As a debutant, they finished in the 4th position and even tried their hand in the Europa League, where they didn't disappoint, confidently beating Petrocub in Moldova and finishing with a unique 6-6 draw against Steaua at home, only to lose on penalties. After that, they had less notable seasons, but in the previous season, they achieved an incredible leap, taking advantage of Partizan's problems, the traditionally second-best team in the country, and became the vice-champions of Serbia. By the way, Cukaricki surpassed them only based on additional criteria in case of equal points. As a result, they not only return to the European stage but also get the opportunity to try their strengths in the Champions League.
Of course, the young Serbs are coming to Braga for the first time in history. The Portuguese side must aim to settle all matters after the first home match. We recommend betting on The Archbishops to win with a -1.5 goals handicap.
Prediction for the match: Braga to win with -1.5 handicap.
