Napoli vs Sporting Braga Prediction and Betting Tips

Publish date: 2024-04-30

Napoli host Sporting Braga at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Tuesday (December 12) in their final group-stage game of the UEFA Champions League.

The hosts have endured a rather difficult campaig,n prompting the dismissal of manager Rudi Garcia months after his appointment. They lost 4-2 to Real Madrid in their last game, conceding twice in the final 10 minutes.

Napoli are second in their group with seven points from five games and only need a point to advance while a one-goal defeat will also suffice.

Braga, meanwhile, have also had their struggles on the continental stage this season but remain hopeful of reaching the knockouts. They drew 1-1 with Union Berlin last time out, falling behind late in the first half before Alvaro Djalo restored parity early in the second.

Braga are a place and three points behind Napoli and must win by at least two goals to reach the last-16.
