Prediction for the UEFA Champions League Panathinaikos vs Braga match which will take place on August 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Panathinaikos

Panathinaikos beat Dnipro-1 (3:1 and 2:2) before meeting with Marseille. In the first match at home, the Greeks won over them 1:0, however, Panathinaikos was almost immediately destroyed 2:0 in the return game, only coming back to win 90+9 and qualify for the next round.

Panathinaikos also showed their best qualities in their first match against Braga. Ivan Jovanovic's wards conceded two goals in the second half but responded by scoring at 90+5. 

Braga

Braga had confidently beaten Bačka Topola, scoring seven goals in two games - 3:0 at home and 4:1 away. Artur Jorge's wards also played two matches in the new Portuguese league, losing 2:1 at home to Famalicao and beating Chaves 4:2 on the road. However, Braga's home championship is an afterthought at this season stage.

In their first match against Panathinaikos, Braga deservedly took a two-goal lead thanks to strikes from Abel Ruiz and Alvaro Djalo, but a late goal in the last seconds could have ruined the Portuguese team's chances.

Expert Betting Tips

Panathinaikos will need to attack after the defeat in Portugal. Braga's ability to use open spaces near the goal is something they have shown many times this season. It is an excellent opportunity to bet on the total, as both teams have scored in almost every game this season.
