Braga:

Braga will kick off their Europa League campaign on Thursday, hosting Maccabi Tel Aviv at the Estadio Municipal de Braga. The Portuguese side secured their place in the group stage with a convincing playoff-round victory over Rapid Vienna, showcasing their resilience and tactical prowess. Having navigated through three qualifying rounds, Braga demonstrated their attacking strength with a remarkable 7-0 aggregate win against Maccabi Petah Tikva in the second qualifying round and a narrow but crucial victory over Servette. Their latest performance saw them bounce back from a slow start to the domestic league, triumphing 3-0 against Nacional, where Sikou Niakate, Bruma, and Amine El Ouazzani found the net. Under the guidance of coach Carlos Carvalhal, Braga will aim to capitalize on their home advantage and secure a vital three points to set the tone for their continental campaign.


Maccabi Tel Aviv:

Maccabi Tel Aviv enters this Europa League fixture riding high on their successful qualifying campaign, where they dismantled Backa Topola with an impressive 8-1 aggregate scoreline. The Israeli champions started their qualifying journey with a solid 2-1 away win against Panevezys and followed it up with a dominant 3-0 home victory. Currently, Maccabi Tel Aviv is enjoying a perfect start to their domestic title defense, having won their first four league matches while scoring eight goals and conceding just one. Their latest victory was a 2-0 win against Ashdod, with first-half goals from Dor Turgeman and Nemanja Stojic maintaining their position at the top of the table. Coach Zarko Lazetic’s side, with a run of nine consecutive wins across all competitions, will be looking to carry this momentum into their opening match of the group stage and make a statement in Portugal.
