Betting on Sporting Braga
Braga is currently in third place in the Primeira Liga standings and has been on a roll lately. The team had gone eight matches without a loss, and it was only the league-leaders, Benfica, who put an end to that positive streak of results. In 31 matches played, Braga has achieved 23 victories, two draws, and six losses, which means it has managed to earn points in 80% of the opportunities it has had.
In its recent matches, Braga has scored 10 goals, giving the team an average of two goals per game in its last five matches. These statistics are even better when the team plays at home (2.2) and its effectiveness against teams like Santa Clara – such as Paços Ferreira or Marítimo – is almost absolute.
All in all, with an excellent scoring pace and very few teams who have managed to surpass it this season, Braga has this victory almost assured
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Matheus; Cristián Borja, Vítor Tormena, Victor Gómez, Sikou Niakaté; André Horta, Uroš Račić, Bruma, Iuri Medeiros; Ricardo Horta, Abel Ruíz.
Betting on Santa Clara
Santa Clara is currently at the bottom of the standings, and it will have a chance of moving up positions if the team manages to secure a victory for the first time in several matches. This team is only one point away from Paços Ferreira, which would put them in second-to-last position in the standings.
So far this season, Santa Clara has played fifteen away matches with unfavorable results, having recorded only one win, two draws, and twelve losses. Additionally, its average amount of goals scored away is 0.33.
However, the numbers show that Santa Clara has a better defense when playing away, with a lower average of goals conceded. Nevertheless, the team has struggled against similar opponents like Porto and Sporting Lisboa, suffering a 2-1 and 3-0 defeat, respectively, both times playing away.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Gabriel Batista; Pierre Sagna, Ygor Nogueira, Kennedy Boateng; Bruno Jordão, Bruno Almeida, Adriano Firmino, Ricardinho; Matheus Araújo, Matheus Babi, Gabriel Silva.
