Braga Team News
Braga reached the Champions League through the third round of qualifications and playoffs. They were third in the Premier League last season, which took them to the playoffs.
Their first opponent was Serbian vice-champion TSC. Braga beat this rival 3:0 at home and then showed absolute supremacy on the road by winning 4:1. That triumph took them to the playoff for a duel against Greek Panathinaikos. In the first game, Braga won 2:1 at home and then 0:1 in Athens.
The draw was not favorable to the Portuguese team. Their rivals are Napoli, Real Madrid and Union Berlin.
Braga played five games in the domestic competition and now has two wins, two losses, and one draw. The bad start of the season for them started with a 2:1 loss to Familia. Chavez and Moreirense won, and in the last round, they suffered a heavy defeat against Farense 3:1.

Napoli Team News
Napoli has an embarrassing draw with Genoa behind them. Last weekend, these two rivals played to a 2:2 draw. This is just one of the troubles of Napoli, who have collected only seven points from four games in Serie A so far.
Last year, this team was dominant in the domestic competition. They convincingly finished the season ahead of Lazio. In the Champions League, they reached the quarter-finals, where Milan met them and defeated 2:1 in two matches. In Group A, they were better than Liverpool, Ajax and Rangers. They had five wins and one loss that did not affect their first position.
They will have more unpleasant opponents this season: Real Madrid, Braga, and Union Berlin.
Napoli’s problem lies in the attack. In the last four games, they scored only one goal, and in the one against Verona, they scored none. They have an excellent striker, Victor Osimhen, who has scored three times since the beginning of the season, but more is needed.

Braga vs Napoli Prediction
Napoli will be the favorite in this match regardless of who will be the guest. The Italians have a better lineup of footballers and a more extended bench to choose the ideal 12. On the other hand, Braga comes from a much weaker league, and its success here will only mean a little if it fails to break through Napoli’s solid defense. We expect a tough match here and for both teams to score a goal.
