Qarabag vs Braga: Match Preview and Prediction
Qarabag vs Braga: In the last three games, Qarabag has scored nine goals in all competitions. In the Portuguese Primeira Liga, Braga has the third-best attacking record. In 16 games this season in the Primeira Liga, Simon Banza has scored 15 goals.
Seven days ago, Qarabag stunned Sporting Braga by winning 4-2 in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League playoff elimination phase. The Azerbaijani champions took full advantage of Braga’s defensive weaknesses. The fact that the ensembles added up to more than 5.00 xG on certain occasions made the game extremely open overall.
However, the tie is by no means over. Despite the difficult loss at home, Braga was the favorite going into this doubleheader, and we can’t write them out. In the UEFA Champions League group stage, the Portuguese squad defeated Union Berlin 3-2 on German soil, demonstrating their ability to secure significant victories when playing away.
In addition, recent domestic encounters have revealed Qarabag’s defensive vulnerabilities. After losing 3–4 to Sabah in the Azerbaijani Cup quarterfinal, they drew 3–3 in the league encounter. With a 15-point lead over Sumqayit in second place, Qurban Qurbanov’s forces are Azerbaijani President Liqa’s sovereign leaders.
Qarabag vs Braga: Betting Analysis
This was the first head-to-head encounter between these two adversaries, which took place in Braga last week. On that occasion, Qarabag earned a historic 4-2 triumph. On Portuguese soil, we saw an extremely open game with lots of chances on both sides.
In recent weeks, Qarabag and Braga have both found it difficult to maintain silence in the back. It was not surprising at all that the first leg scored so highly. We anticipate a situation much like the last one. There is yet more quality in Braga’s ranks.
They rank third in Portuguese Primeira Liga offense. Seven straight games in all competitions have seen Qarabag lose a clean sheet. In the last three games, they’ve allowed nine goals. Braga has conceded 10 goals in their last three games across all competitions, so supporting goals at both ends is preferable. Since the visitors are favorites, we’ll choose the tempting 4.00 odds on Braga to win and both teams to score.
Simon Banza has been Braga’s best player this season. A DR Congo attacker scored 15 Primeira Liga goals in 16 games this season. He has scored in Braga’s last two games since returning from the CAF Africa Cup of Nations. Since Banza will have lots of space to go past the weak Qarabag defense, we will pick him to score anytime at 2.50.
