Pre-game Form
Maccabi Petah Tikva‘s recent form has been somewhat inconsistent. Despite securing a solid 1-0 victory against Hapoel Be’er Sheva and thrashing Hapoel Petah Tikva 4-1, they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Maccabi Netanya and could only manage a draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv (2-2) and a win against Hapoel Tel Aviv (4-2). These results suggest that while Maccabi Petah Tikva can perform impressively, their inconsistency could be a major concern heading into the match against Braga.
Braga, on the other hand, has shown a more consistent performance in their recent outings. Victories over Guimaraes (3-2) and Estoril (1-0), alongside a high-scoring game against Portimonense (5-3), demonstrate their offensive capabilities. A draw against Rio Ave (0-0) and a loss to Benfica (3-1) indicate some vulnerabilities, but overall, Braga appears to be in stronger form than their Israeli counterparts.
