Analysis and forecast for the Champions League play-off game Braga – Panathinaikos (08.23.2023)
The group stage of the Champions League begins in September. Until then, teams that have not directly received entry have a chance to qualify. On August 23, three games of the playoffs of the tournament playoffs will take place. In one of them, at the Municipal de Braga stadium in Portugal, Braga will host Panathinaikos.

The Gunsmiths have performed successfully on the international arena for many years. The season before, they reached the quarterfinals of the Europa League. In the last draw of the tournament, Braga did not make it to the playoffs, but only because strong teams got into the rivals and there was a bit of lack of luck.

But Arthur Jorge’s pupils reached the final of the Portuguese Cup and finished in third place in the championship. Thus, for the first time in a long time, they had the opportunity to play in the Champions League. Now Braga has the opportunity to repeat the result of the most successful season in the club’s history in the international arena: reaching the group stage of the tournament.
In the summer, the “archbishops” retained the backbone and the head coach. They started the new season by confidently beating TSC in the third qualifying round of the Champions League (3:0 and 4:1). In the championship of Portugal, “Braga” insultingly lost to “Famalican” (1:2) and defeated “Shaves” (4:2).

In the match with Famalican, the gunsmiths conceded the second goal at minute 90+5. They dominated most of the match but were unable to convert the advantage into a result. It rarely happens with Arthur Jorge’s pupils. They often show beautiful open football, score a lot of goals and win.

Panathinaikos, in turn, in the last five years, only got a ticket for the selection of European competitions for the second time. At the end of last season, they failed to get past the third qualifying round of the Conference League. Lost the “clover” from Prague “Slavia” (0:2 and 1:1).
In the offseason, the Athens team strengthened its roster quite well. He rented Lokomotiv Moscow defender Tina Yedvay and acquired former Krasnodar midfielder Tonny de Villena. The recruits adapted very quickly and helped the Greens make a splash.
In the previous stages of the Champions League qualifying tournament, Panathinaikos defeated Dnipro-1 (3: 1 and 2: 2) and Marseille (1: 0 and 1: 2, 3: 5 pen.). Of course, it was not without luck. The Provencals only survived the change of head coach. The games were the first of the season.
Also, Marseille’s main midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia received a red card in the first game. “Clover” took advantage of the numerical advantage. Kondogbia did not participate in the second leg due to disqualification. The Greens escaped relegation only at minute 90+9, having made a shot from 11 meters.

Panathinaikos approaches the next match as an obvious underdog. Braga has a much better image of football and the results of performances in European competitions. In addition, the meeting will take place in Portugal. You can bet on the victory of the “gunsmiths” and on the total more than 1.5 goals in bookmakers with a coefficient of 2.17.
Al Ahly wants to buy De Paul from Atlético.
In 17 matches of the last season of the Portuguese championship at the home stadium, the “Archbishops” suffered only two defeats and drew twice. During this time period, they have scored 40 goals and conceded just 11.
Perhaps, in the second leg, Trébol can cause another sensation and leave the Portuguese team out of European competition. However, this is hard to believe. Despite the replenishment of former RPL footballers, the Greens have a much worse staffing than the “gunsmiths”.
Forecast and bets for the qualifying match of the Champions League Braga – Panathinaikos on August 23, 2023
Braga has more resources and a better team game, as well as a higher level of superiority than Panathinaikos. In their home stadium, they will surely win and, as always, will please with their performance. The fact that Clover managed to beat Marseille says little. Circumstances were very lucky for them. If the Provençals had not been weakened for a number of reasons, the result would have been very different.
