Real Madrid secured a spot in the Champions League knockout phase after winning all three matches in three played rounds. Despite not being convincing due to a +1 goal difference, the Spanish club confirmed their position as favorites in the group. The only remaining goal is to secure first place in the group, with Napoli as the eventual rival. Real Madrid’s previous LaLiga match with Rayo Vallecano did not confirm their victory in El Classico against Barcelona.

Braga, currently in 3rd place in their group, has been performing well throughout the season. They secured a spot in the Champions League group stage by winning the Playoff against Panathinaikos. In the Portuguese League, they are in 4th place, below Sporting, Benfica, and Porto. In the last round, they defeated Portimonense 6-1. Braga’s pleasing appearance may be attributed to their narrow defeats against Real Madrid and Napoli. They have a lot to show in the next three rounds.

Real Madrid could secure the knockout stage with only one point in this match, depending on the results in the second group match. They should always win at home, especially as big favorites like here.

The first match between these teams was predicted to score at least one goal, with Braga playing bravely but losing 2-1. This duel is predicted to be similar, as Braga is not playing at home now, but they are a competitive team that could capitalize on the home team’s defensive mistake.

Predicted lineups:

Real Madrid

Goalkeeper: Kepa Arrizabalaga
Defenders: Fran Garcia, Antonio Rudiger, Nacho Fernandez, Daniel Carvajal
