Match Preview
Braga
Braga did not manage to get the top spot in Group H, only because they had lost the direct game against Club Brugge. Both teams finished with 11 points, where Braga had a better goal difference scoring 12 goals and conceding 6 in those games, where Club Brugge had scored 12 but conceded 9 goals. Braga meets Besiktas for a first time, but they have met a Turkish team before. In 2008, when the Portuguese team participated in the Intertoto Cup they managed to beat Sivasspor with aggregate score of 5:0, winning the home match with 3:0 and the away match with 2:0. Nuno Gomes is priced to score at anytime in this match @ 2.20 followed by Rodrigo Lima @ 2.50
Besiktas
Besiktas managed to top Group E with 12 points, one ahead of Stoke City, but only won one of their three away games, which happened to be the last one against Maccabi Tel-Aviv with 3:2. Besiktas faced Portuguese teams in 5 matches, losing 3, drawing one and winning one. Their away record in Portugal reads W1 D1 L1 where the victory occurred in 2005/6 Uefa Cup group stage against Vitória. Before their most recent away success, Besiktas had recorded four consecutive losses. The team managed to score 13 goals and conceded 7 in the 6 group stage games. Strikers Filip Holosko & Hugo Almeida are individually priced to score at anytime during this match @ 4.00
Prediction
Both teams have never met before. Braga is considered a favorite in this match due to the fact that they made it to the final in last year’s edition of Europa League and that they have lost only one in the last 8 games this season, recording 4 draws and 3 victories. The team is yet again in excellent shape and is expected to take the win here. Back Braga to win this match @ 1.66 with William Hill.
Last season, Braga’s specialty was to win or draw games with the least possible goals. This season should not be something different as the team’s strategy in the group stage was somewhat similar. Back this match to end Under 2.5 Goals at @ 1.85 with William Hill.
