Prediction: 1-1
Napoli
Estadio Municipal de Braga will be packed when Braga kick off their Champions League campaign with a game against Napoli. The Reds were scoring goals for fun in the CL qualifier, but they head into Wednesday’s showdown following a 3-1 loss to Farense. Both Rony Lopes and Abel Ruiz are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in the last league match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Partenopei, on the other hand, came from two goals behind to share the spoils with Genoa at the weekend, but their performance in the second half is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the trip to Portugal. Both Matteo Politanoa and Giacomo Raspadori could earn spots in the starting XI after the duo got their names on the scoresheet in the Estadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris clash. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as Braga always adopt an attack-oriented approach in home games. Rudi Garcia should have a full squad to choose from for the Champions League opener.
