Union Berlin-Braga is a match for the second day of the Champions League group stage and is played on Tuesday at 18:45: lineups, predictions.
Bonucci case? Yes, it is. There are questions in Germany about the former Juventus defender, who in the final hours of the market decided to leave Turin to go and play in the Champions League with the Germans. But since his arrival, five defeats have come, every match played. It has to be said, however, that during the first match of Europe’s top competition, Real Madrid’s goal came right at the end of the period when Leonardo had left the field. And he had done well as long as he played.
In the league, however, the mistakes were many, some even red-pencil ones. A start that was far from positive for the Italian defender, who is nevertheless expected to take the field again today from the first minute against Braga. In a match where the two teams are playing for so much. Yes, third place, because the first two should be without any particular problems for Napoli and Real Madrid, the other teams in the group.
Both the Germans and the Portuguese lost in the first round. Let’s say that if we were only looking at the two teams’ moment of form, we would say that Braga is the favourite. But that is not the case: sooner or later Union will have to win a match and everything suggests that it could be today’s match. For the most classic change of gear that could also give a different meaning to the whole season.

The Prediction
A match with at least three goals in total and in which even a fourth could escape. One more thing is certain: Union Berlin cannot lose them all. And on paper they are even stronger than the Portuguese. Hence, victory for the home team. Few doubts.
