Braga vs CFR Cluj Prediction & Betting Tips (14 August)

Well above 85% of the teams present in the Portuguese first division, Braga is well below Porto, Benfica and Sporting. Often fourth on arrival, Braga is regularly present at this stage of the competition each year. Since 2016, Braga has participated in the Europa League no less than 8 times, eliminated from the league phase last year. Finally, the lights are green. Braga after his success in Cluj in Romania 1-2 in the first leg, started well in the league after a success in front of Tondela 3-0 Sunday.

  The Cluj Football Club, second last year, behind the FCSB, made a very alarming start to the championship. Indeed, after 4 days, Cluj occupies 13th place 4 points on the clock but did not play this reported weekend. Following a success against Lugano in the second round of the Europa League 0-0/1-0, Cluj therefore lost at home in front of Braga. The mobility of Jean-Baptise Gorby double, 17 'and 50' in the opposing ranks will have done far too much damage. 

Accustomed to losing forces during each transfer window, Braga has kept a beautiful framework for this year with no major loss except that of Roberto Fernandez for 6 million euros (Spanish Barcelona). For the rest we can also highlight the departure of Andre Horta (loan, Almeria), while her brother Ricardo is still there. Conversely, Braga AA made very pretty blows like the recruitments of Pau Victor (FC Barcelona, 13 million euros) already goalscorer during the J1 against Tondela, Mario Dorgeles (Nordsjaeland, 12 million euros), and Gabriel Moscardo (PSG ready). On the infirmary side, the little used Jonatas Noro (Central) should not play for an injury. Cluj has a far too large professional workforce to compete in Europe.

Therefore, many of them end up with a status of "non-eligible", like D'Omeruo, Kresic (Defense), Bosec, Tirlea, Peteleu (Middle), Sfait and Biliboc (attackers), while Simao Rocha (important right side), as well as tauliers in the midfield Muhar and Emerllahu (Liberia, 3 salt). Author of 2 goals in the championship, Pistolachi (wing-right) is already decisive in the league. Cluj plays offensive 4-3-3.
