Europa League qualification is heating up. Last Thursday, among others, we had the first leg of the matchup between Braga and Maccabi Petah Tikva. The two teams met in Portugal, and the home side won 2-0. Braga probably had a chance for an even bigger win as they finished the match with 65% ball possession and 19 shots more to the goal than the opponent. In the second leg, teams will meet at a neutral field in Sofia.
Last season, Maccabi Petah Tikva didn't impress, finishing eighth on the table. However, after winning the State Cup, the team from Petah Tikva got the opportunity to fight for a place in the Europa League. Maccabi Petah Tikva were terrible in the previous weeks as they lost three games in a row, including preseason, and we doubt that it will be much different on Thursday in Sofia.
In the last few years, Braga have regularly been one of the top four teams in Portugal. They had a fantastic preseason as they recorded five wins in seven friendly matches. In the first official game of the season, Braga had some problems converting goal-scoring chances, but they still recorded an easy win against Maccabi Petah Tikva. We should expect Braga to be better with every game.
Maccabi Petah Tikva vs Braga pick: Braga to win and cover AH -1.5 spread

Maccabi Petah Tikva team news
Maccabi Petah Tikva are currently without Niv Yehoshua and Idan Toklomati, who are on international duty at the Olympic Games with Israel U23. Toklomati is the best Maccabi Petah Tikva player, and in previous weeks, there were a lot of rumors that he could move to Charlotte or Crvena Zvezda. After the Olympic Games, we will probably see if Toklomati will return to Maccabi Petah Tikva.

Braga team news
Braga won last week against Maccabi Petah Tikva, but the head coach, Daniel Sousa, wasn't fully satisfied with the first game of the season. He said, We had control for the 90 minutes, but there are some minutes that we need to analyze and that we worked on during the week. Everything to avoid counter-attacks, to retreat when we need to, and to organize when we need to organize."
