Braga vs Real Madrid Prediction
Braga have put together a fine run of form in recent weeks but face a sterner challenge of taking on a star-studded Madrid side. Given the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides, expect the La Liga leaders to return to winning ways after their weekend draw in the league.
