Dynamo Minsk vs Braga: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Minsk recently returned to the top of Belarusian football, winning the championship in 2023 and 2024, but last season they lost the title to ML Vitebsk. This season, they are once again competing for the title. In the Conference League, they knocked out Sileks (on penalties after exchanging 1-0 wins) and Neftchi (4-2 in Azerbaijan and 0-1 at home).
The team from Braga, as usual, finished behind the top three giants of the Primeira last season, taking fourth place. The new league campaign began only this weekend — against Moreirense. Before that, the Portuguese side calmly eliminated Zeleznicar from Pancevo: 1-0 in Serbia and 4-0 at home.
In Portugal, the guests held on almost until halftime, but Horta converted a penalty. The score didn’t change after that, and the home side secured a minimal 1-0 win.
