Betting on Casa Pia
Even though Casa Pia is playing at home, the team will face a tough match. Its performance this season has not been good, currently sitting in ninth place on the standings with 39 points. However, the team still has a chance to participate in an international tournament.
To achieve this, the team needs to start winning matches and end its three-game winless streak. Its latest match against Rio Ave ended in a draw (1-1), which was a missed opportunity to gain vital points to get closer to conquering its objectives.
Furthermore, Casa Pia has not been solid defensively or offensively. It has scored 27 goals but conceded 32, resulting in a negative goal difference that is holding the team back.
Possible lineup: (3-4-3): Lucas Paes; Joao Nunes, Fernando Varela, Nermin Zolotic; Derick Poloni, Afonso Taira, Neto, Leonardo Lelo; Yuki Soma, Rafael Martins, Diogo Pinto.
Betting on Sporting Braga
Braga is having a dreamy season in Portugal. Currently in third place with 65 points, this team is just two points away from directly qualifying for the Champions League and six points away from the top spot.
Under the guidance of Artur Jorge, the team has been going through a good run of six games without losing, recording five victories and a draw. Its latest match saw the team achieve a 4-1 win against Estoril. The team’s almost perfect performance has also seen it on the brink of reaching the final of the Cup of Portugal.
The team’s performance has been brilliant, and the statistics show it too. With 61 goals scored and only 24 conceded, it is the third-best team in terms of goal difference in Portuguese soccer.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Matheus; Victor Gómez, Vítor Tormena, Sikou Niakaté, Nuno Sequeira; Ali Musrati, André Horta; Iuri Medeiros, Ricardo Horta, Bruma; Abel Ruíz.
JefeBet Prediction
This will definitely be a match where Braga has a better chance of claiming the victory than its rival, not only because of its undefeated streak but also because it has been one of the best teams in Portuguese soccer throughout the season.
The team’s opponent, Casa Pia, is far from the level shown by Braga, and despite its flaws, Braga has managed to stay in the fight for international tournaments. However, Braga is a few steps ahead, which is why at JefeBet, we expect an away win.
Prediction: Moneyline de Braga (CAS 0-2 BRA).
