Prediction
End Result: Away Team Wins
Predicted Score: Maccabi Petach Tikva 1 – 3 SC Braga
SC Braga’s recent form, including their win over Maccabi Petach Tikva in the first leg, suggests they have the upper hand. Playing at a neutral venue also removes any home advantage that Maccabi Petach Tikva might have. Braga’s stronger attacking line-up is likely to secure them another victory.
