Braga has once again established itself among the top contenders in recent years. Despite consistently challenging the traditional top three—Porto, Sporting, and Benfica—they have yet to secure a national championship title. Last season, Braga finished fourth, earning a spot in the Europa League qualification. Under coach Daniel Sousa, Braga aims to continue their progression in European competitions. Braga's home form in international matches has been inconsistent, with five losses in their last nine home games in European competitions. However, they recently secured a 2-0 home victory against Maccabi PT in the second qualifying round of the Europa League and followed it up with a dominant 5-0 away win. The domestic league season in Portugal is just starting, so their match fitness might not be at its peak yet. Nonetheless, Braga's performance so far has been flawless, with two wins and a 7-0 goal difference in their competitive matches this season. Servette had a strong 2023/24 season, finishing third in the Swiss Super League and winning the Swiss Cup—their first title in 23 years. Despite a solid season, the team has undergone changes, including the appointment of a new coach, Thomas Haberli. Servette started the new season impressively with three consecutive wins, including a notable 3-1 victory over reigning champions Young Boys. However, they suffered a 1-3 defeat to Lugano in their latest match, bringing them back to reality. Servette's matches have been characterized by plenty of goals, with nine scored and seven conceded in their first four league games. I expect an open match here as well and in that scenario Braga is big favorite to win. There is a difference in quality of Swiss and Portuguese league and I believe Braga will show it in the first match,
近年来,布拉加再次成为了顶级竞争者之一。尽管他们不断挑战传统的前三名——波尔图、里斯本竞技和本菲卡——但他们还没有获得全国冠军。上赛季,布拉加以第四名的成绩获得了参加欧联杯的资格。在主教练丹尼尔·索萨的带领下,布拉加的目标是在欧洲赛事中继续前进。布拉加在国际比赛中的主场状态一直不稳定,在最近的9场欧战主场比赛中输了5场。然而,他们最近在欧联杯预选赛第二轮主场2-0战胜马卡比PT,随后又以5-0的优势客场取胜。葡萄牙国内联赛赛季才刚刚开始,所以他们的比赛状态可能还没有达到顶峰。尽管如此,布拉加目前的表现是完美的,本赛季他们在正式比赛中取得了两场胜利和7-0的净胜球。塞尔维特在2023/24赛季表现强劲,在瑞士超级联赛中排名第三,并赢得了瑞士杯,这是他们23年来的第一个冠军。尽管本赛季表现稳定,但球队经历了一些变化,包括任命了新教练托马斯·哈伯利。塞尔维特在新赛季开始时取得了令人印象深刻的三连胜,其中包括3-1击败卫冕冠军Young Boys。然而,他们在最近一场比赛中以1-3输给卢加诺,这让他们回到了现实。塞尔维特的比赛特点是进球很多,前四场联赛进9球失7球。我期待一场开放的比赛,在这种情况下,布拉加是最大的赢家。瑞士和葡萄牙联赛的水平是不同的,我相信布拉加会在第一场比赛中证明这一点。
