Napoli vs Braga odds
As we go into the final round of fixtures of the 2023/24 Champions League group stage, things are pretty straightforward for Napoli and Braga. Napoli go into this game with the upper hand, sitting three points clear of Braga having won the previous meeting. It means a draw will be enough for them to join Real Madrid in the last 16. Napoli haven’t had it all their way in the Champions League this season, however. The win over Braga is one of just two victories so far, also beating Union Berlin. There was also a draw with Union Berlin alongside home and away defeats to Real Madrid.
Braga, meanwhile, need to win by at least two goals to overtake Napoli. A one-goal victory will not be enough, but Braga are in a strong position to at least qualify for the Europa League. Again, that isn’t a guarantee, though it’d take Union Berlin shocking Real Madrid alongside a Braga defeat. All four of Braga’s points have come against Union Berlin, with two defeats to Real Madrid as well as the loss against Napoli.
