[Football- Champions League] 12.12/ 21:00 Napoli- Braga
If Braga wins this game, they will be tied in points with Napoli for 2nd place in the group meaning this comes down to a tiebreaker. This website explains the order of tiebreakers for those interested. The short explanation is, since Napoli had the better overall goal difference and won their first meeting 2-1 at Braga, Braga would either need to win this match by 2+ goals OR win by 1 while scoring at least 3 goals to advance. What that means to me is Braga is going to be on all out attack as they need to score as many goals as possible, and should be able to get at least 1 in the net.
Napoli, on the other hand, will most likely be playing a defensive minded game, but I still believe they should be able to score. Once Braga does score, Napoli will need on the offensive to ensure they do not lose by more than 1. On top of that, Braga have conceded a goal in all but 2 of their last 18 matches, and have conceded in every UCL match this year. Napoli have not scored in the 2 games they've played since having Osimhen back, and he as well as the rest of the team will be hungry to put up some goals on home soil.
