Braga vs Fiorentina Prediction: The hosts are definitely more prepared for the game

Braga will host Fiorentina at home. The teams will play their first match in the Conference League Qualifying Playoff. Bookmakers have not identified a favorite in the upcoming game.

After the loss to Sporting (0:5), Braga improved and won three consecutive victories. It is worth highlighting the team's successful performance against Benfica, Portugal's best team of the season so far. Braga beat the Lisbon side in a penalty shootout and made it to the semi-final stage of the Portuguese Cup. The club beat Famalicão and Maritimo 6:2 on aggregate in the Primera Division. At the end of 20 games, Braga is third in the standings and seven points behind the leader.

In 2023 Fiorentina can only be proud of a good performance in the Italian Cup. At the beginning of February, Fiorentina beat Torino at home (2:1) and made it to the tournament's semifinals. As for their performance in Serie A, the team is acting strangely and playing noticeably worse than they can. The previous weekend the visiting team lost to Juventus from Turin 0:1 and brought their winless streak in the championship to five meetings. Fiorentina is currently sitting in 14th place.

Considering Fiorentina's current form, it's strange to see such high odds on Braga's win. The home team is more prepared for the game. Besides, they get emotional after the victory over Benfica in the Portuguese Cup. We expect the Portuguese club to win the first leg of the Conference League Qualifying Playoff.
