Sporting Braga - Arouca predictions

With the odds set at 1.46 for a home win, Sporting Braga winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Sporting Braga and the fact that Arouca are given 6.64 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Arouca victory would be a shocking surprise.

While the last time we saw Sporting Braga they took home a decisive 3:5 away win at Portimonense, they shouldn’t get too overconfident. They were the hard favourites after all, and Arouca might yet have a few tricks up their sleeve even though the biggest bookmakers online don’t think so.

The away team’s victory in the previous round can be called routine, all things considered. They had home-field advantage, after all, and most $LEAUGE betting odds were decidedly in their favour. Records show that they were leading at halftime as well, which makes their dominance of that matchup all the more complete.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

With 6 goals in Arouca’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

The number 4th spot puts Sporting Braga in the upper half of the table, but there is still some time in the season to shuffle these around. They’re expected to earn 3 points here by most experts and tipsters.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Primeira Liga season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Arouca. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.64 odds offered at Pncl.
