Betting on Sporting Braga
Braga’s current season has been practically perfect in domestic soccer, where the team is in third place in the table with 20 wins, two draws and only five defeats. In addition, it is playing in the Cup of Portugal where it has already won the first leg of the semifinals 5-0, so only a bad run would take them out of the final.
The team’s excellent performance has only been overshadowed by Benfica’s, which demonstrates the high level of Portuguese soccer. Braga has stood out both offensively and defensively, scoring 60 goals and only conceding 24.
Now the team will have to play at home, a scenario with which it is quite comfortable. The squad has shown a great version of itself playing in front of its fanbase, as it has demonstrated in its last match, where it comfortably defeated Estoril 4-1.
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.
Betting on Gil Vicente
Unlike its rival, Gil Vicente has had a notably inferior campaign, ranking thirteenth in the standings with eight wins, seven draws, and 12 losses. Despite this, the team is staying away from relegation but at the same time, is far away from the international competitions.
Currently, the team is going through a negative stretch of four matches without a win, with notable losses against Rio Ave and Estoril, two direct rivals which are relatively low in the standings.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Andrew; Carraça, Tomás Araújo, Rúben Fernandes, Adrián Marín; Vítor Carvalho, Giorgi Aburjania; Murilo Souza, Kanya Fujimoto, Marlon; Fran Navarro.
JefeBet Prediction
Undoubtedly, both the current moment and the season in general have been much more favorable for Braga, which is fighting until the very end in both, the league and the national cup, tournaments in which it has shown it has great scoring power.
Adding to this, Gil Vicente is currently struggling at the bottom of the standings and has not tasted victory in four matches. That is why, at JefeBet, we are expecting this match to end with an easy win for the home team.
Prediction: Moneyline Braga (BRA 2-0 GIL).
