Union Berlin vs Braga Prediction 03.10.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: 03.10.2023
• Kickoff: 17:45 UTC +1 / 18:45 CEST
• Venue: Olympiastadion (Berlin)

The German club, which was at a very high level last season, often was defeating the strongest German teams and finished the competition in 4th place, had a great start to the new season as well. They won a couple of Bundesliga matches, easily won the cup clash, but September was quite chaotic. In 5 matches played this month, Union Berlin lost all of them. Four in the German championship and debut in the Champions League against Real Madrid. In all those matches, Union Berlin scored only once and it is obvious that they are in a big crisis.

Braga have played a lot of matches since the end of the preparatory period, maybe twice as many as their rivals, so it could be said that they are already in full competitive form. It's been very good so far. In the Champions League qualifiers, they easily defeated Serbian TSC and Greek Panathinaikos. In the championship of Portugal, with 2 last wins and 8 goals scored, they made their way to 5th place in the table. The defeat against Napoli in the 1st round of the Champions League 1-2 at home is painful, but Braga has the quality to winter in European cups. A good result in Germany is needed.

Union Berlin vs Braga pick: BRAGA DOUBLE CHANCE X2

Union Berlin have failed to score in their last two matches against teams like Hoffenheim and Heidenheim which could be quite worrying. There were chances, shots on goal, but that finishing edge was always missing. Braga did not have those problems in the Portuguese championship. Certainly, they are somewhat weaker rivals than in the Bundesliga, but Braga also played superbly against Napoli, Sporting and Panathinaikos.

We are expecting a very tough and tactical match in which it will be closer to see under 2.5 goals, but the primary bet is that Braga will not lose. Double Chance X2. Primarily due to the poor form of both the hosts and the very confident play of the club from Portugal.
