The 2022/23 Primeira Liga season will come to an end this weekend with matchday 34. The final matchday promises to be an exciting one as the champion is yet to be decided, and Benfica and Porto will battle until the last minute of their respective games to claim the title. Although the Braga vs Pacos Ferreira match may seem insignificant, it could still be one of the most emotional matches as it marks Braga’s last home game and Pacos Ferreira’s farewell as they have already been relegated.
Braga did an excellent job this season, securing its spot in the Champions League, and regardless of the result of this match, it will maintain its third position in the overall standings. With a win, Pacos Ferreira can ensure it does not finish last, despite its relegation being confirmed.

Betting on Sporting Clube de Braga

This team ended its season with an impressive 24 wins, three draws, and six losses, earning it a solid 75 points and third place in the league with the most victories. Its last game ended in a 1-1 tie against Boavista, giving it an unbeaten record in the last two matches.
Half of its wins were achieved at home, with 12 victories, two draws, and two losses in 16 matches. This will be its final game at home, and it will be seeking its fifth consecutive win, taking advantage of its unbeaten streak of eight matches in this condition, with six wins and two draws.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Matheus; Victor Gómez, Paulo Oliveira, Sikou Niakaté, Josafat Mendes; Iuri Medeiros, André Horta, Pizzi, Bruma; Abel Ruíz, Ricardo Horta.
Betting on Futebol Clube Paços de Ferreira
Pacos Ferreira had a terrible performance throughout the season, and as a result, it was relegated before completing the schedule. With only six wins, five draws, and 22 losses in 33 games, it is credited as the most losing team in this Primiera Liga campaign and the team with the second-lowest amount of wins. Its poor results were caused by a weak defensive performance, and it heads into the last matchday with the second-highest amount of goals against, with 59 goals.
Pacos Ferreira managed to get a win in the last match with a score of 3-1 against Rio Ave, but it was too late. That victory was at home, and now it will play its last game away, where it hasn’t had good performances either. This team only won three of the 16 games it played, making it the fourth-worst away team. Its last match on the road ended in a 2-0 defeat against Chaves.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Marafona; Juan Delgado, Nuno Lima, Maracás, Vitorino Antunes; Jordan Holsgrove, Rui Pires; Nigel Thomas, Nicolás Gaitán, Alexandre Guedes; Adrián Butzke
JefeBet Prediction
It’s a lopsided match-up and just by looking at the standings, it’s clear that Braga is the heavy favorite for this match. In January, they faced each other in matchday 17 and the Archbishop’s came out victorious with a score of 2-1. In fact, Braga has three consecutive wins against this opponent in all competitions.
Three of the last meetings between these teams ended with Under 2.5, and DraftKings is offering a +165 odds for this market. So, if you wager $100 that the score will be within that range, you could win $165 if it hits.
