Betting on Braga
Meanwhile, the Archbishops have remained in the Champions League places for most of the tournament, but what they want to avoid is entering the qualification zone, as the idea is to go straight to the group stage. In order to do that, they must avoid losing points because Sporting is there threatening.
They register only one loss in the last 5 games, that ended a 3 in a row win streak in the league. It was against Vitoria Guimaraes, and they lost by a score of 2-1. From the 30th minute of the first half, they were playing with one less.
Vitoria took advantage of this and take the lead by a score of 2-0 very quickly. A sending off of the rival made the match very even, and they scored in the 88th minute, but they did not have time to equalize and suffered another expelled player that will surely affect this match.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Matheus; Victor Gomez, Vitor Tormena, Paulo Oliveira, Nuno Sequeira; Rodrigo Gomes, Uros Racic, Mutassim Musrati, Ricardo Horta; Simon Banza, Abel Ruiz
Betting on Rio Ave
On matchday 14 they were on the verge of Europe, but the team fell and now is fighting to avoid relegation. However, Luis Freire managed to get his team back on track.
They have escalated positions, but have not been consistent. They have gone 6 games without wins, with 3 draws and 3 defeats, and in the last 3 games they got back to their feet, with two victories and one defeat against Porto (which they made them suffer a lot).
Last game against Chaves they won by playing defensive soccer. They scored in the second half, and gave the ball to their opponents, who were never able to break down the wall they put up against them. On the counterattack they were not as effective, but they tried, they shot 10 times and only 4 of those shots were on target.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Jhonatan; Renato Pantalon, Aderllran Santos, Josue Sá; Costinha, Joao Graça, Gonçalo Rodrigues, Andreas Samaris, Fabio Ronaldo; André Pereira, Emmanuel Boateng
JefeBet Prediction
Braga’s losses due to suspension are in defense and that can affect a lot, but Rio Ave is not doing well on the road. They register only 1 win in 11 games, that’s why we believe that Braga, with a depleted defense, will get the victory by the minimum.
Prediction: Braga 1-0 Rio Ave
