Real will feel that they are better placed than their opponents and will hope to pick up as many points as possible from it. Braga, however, are no minnows and have the capability to challenge Madrid even if it is on the latter's home turf.

Madrid will feel that their superiority in all three departments of the game: attack, midfield and defence will aid them in this game against Braga.

Braga can count themselves to be extremely fortunate owing to the fact that they do not have any major injuries in their side. Madrid, however, will have to make do without the likes of Ferland Mendy, Eder Militao and Daniel Ceballos among others.
Prediction
These teams have already met once in the Champions League earlier this season. The reverse fixture was won by Real Madrid by a 1-2 scoreline. Alhough they were playing away from home, Los Blancos did not appear to be too troubled by the circumstances at all. They seemed as fresh and captivating as they always do. On Wednesday too, we expect Real Madrid to win this game.
