Napoli vs Braga Prediction 12.12.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: 12.12.2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)

Napoli did not have a very good season in the group stage of the Champions League, but regardless of the two defeats, they managed to get an excellent chance to advance to the knockout stage. Real Madrid is undisputed in the 1st place with a maximum of 15 points, while Napoli in the 2nd place has 7 points, which is 3 points more than the rival in this match, Braga. The Italian team needs 1 point to qualify for the knockout phase, but they will definitely go for all 3 points.

Braga did not leave a bad impression at all in the previous matches, but in such a strong group they needed a lot of luck but also more quality to reach one of the first two places. The Portuguese club still has a chance to reach the 2nd position, but the chances of winning are very small. It is much more realistic for them to remain in 3rd place and advance to the knockout phase of the Europa League in a competition in which they would be quite competitive to reach the very end.

Napoli vs Braga pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Napoli's defense is something that has not been working well lately. In the previous 3 matches, they conceded 8 goals, and if we pay attention to the matches in Naples, the home team did not achieve a clean sheet in the 8 previous duels. Braga have won their last 3 away matches in the Portuguese league and cup. This is a team that plays very bravely against the favorites and will not be in a subordinate position. We expect the victory of the home team, but also goals on both sides.
