Braga's start to the 2023/24 Primeira Liga season has been a mix of highs and lows, yet their performance on the continental stage has been exceptional. They cruised past Serbian side TSC with a commanding 7-1 aggregate scoreline, securing a spot in the final qualification round for the upcoming UEFA Champions League (UCL). Their aim is to make it to the group stage of the competition, a feat they haven't achieved in a decade. Despite a less-than-perfect league start, they head into their home leg against Greece's Panathinaikos as strong favorites.

In their most recent league fixture, Braga's top-tier lineup capitalized on a favorable turn of events. They exploited an 80th-minute red card for opponents Chaves to score two late goals and secure a 4-2 victory. The team has continued their goal-scoring form from last season, notching their sixth instance of scoring three or more goals in their last ten competitive matches.

Panathinaikos, on the other hand, hasn't reached the UCL group stage since 2010/11. This marks their fifth attempt since then to navigate the qualifying rounds. Their recent victory over Marseille through penalties showcased their determination, even though it was aided by the French side playing with ten men for a significant portion of the match. Panathinaikos fans are optimistic about their return to the pinnacle of European football.

Securing a win in the first leg in Portugal might be ambitious for Panathinaikos, considering their last away victory in a UEFA match as underdogs was in August 2014 (with three draws and eight losses). However, the Greek team benefits from being able to fully focus on this competition, as their first Greek Super League match of the new season was postponed to accommodate their journey to face Braga.

Players to watch include Braga's Bruma, who has opened the scoring twice in three competitive games this season. For Panathinaikos, Fotis Ioannidis played a pivotal role in their success, netting a crucial 99th-minute penalty against Marseille. He has contributed with goals and assists in three of their last four UEFA matches.

I believe backing the Portuguese team is the right call. Good luck!

布拉加在2023/24赛季的开始是高潮和低谷的混合，但他们在大陆舞台上的表现却非常出色。他们以7比1的总比分轻松击败塞尔维亚球队TSC，确保进入即将到来的欧洲冠军联赛(UCL)最后一轮资格赛。他们的目标是进入小组赛阶段，这是他们十年来从未取得的成就。尽管联赛开局并不完美，但他们将在主场迎战希腊的帕纳辛奈科斯。

在他们最近的联赛中，布拉加的顶级阵容利用了有利的转变。他们利用对手查韦斯在第80分钟领到红牌的机会，在最后时刻打进两球，以4-2取胜。球队延续了上赛季的进球状态，这是他们在最近10场正式比赛中第六次打进3球以上。

另一方面，帕纳辛纳科斯自2010/11赛季以来就没有进入过欧冠小组赛。这是他们第五次尝试通过资格赛。他们最近通过点球战胜马赛展现了他们的决心，尽管法国队在比赛的大部分时间里都是十人打法。帕纳辛奈科斯的球迷对他们重返欧洲足坛的巅峰持乐观态度。

对于帕纳辛奈科斯来说，确保首回合葡萄牙的胜利可能是雄心勃勃的，考虑到他们上一次在欧足联的比赛中作为弱者取得胜利是在2014年8月(3平8负)。然而，这支希腊球队受益于能够完全专注于这项比赛，因为他们新赛季的第一场希腊超级联赛被推迟，以适应他们面对布拉加的旅程。

值得关注的球员包括布拉加的布鲁马，他在本赛季的三场正式比赛中两次进球。对于帕纳辛纳科斯来说，约阿尼迪斯在他们的成功中发挥了关键作用，他在对阵马赛的比赛中打进了关键的第99分钟点球。在最近的四场欧足联比赛中，他贡献了三场进球和助攻。

我相信支持葡萄牙队是正确的选择。好运！
