Benfica - Sporting Braga predictions

Sporting Braga will have little to hope for against Benfica. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of Benfica and the 6.81 odds given to Sporting Braga to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

Benfica conceded early and never quite managed to get back into the game last time out in the Primeira Liga. It was an away match they were never going to win, if 2.83 betting odds were to be believed, so a narrow loss might even be something their fans should not be too disappointed with.

A narrow 1:2 defeat is not something Sporting Braga supporters hoped for in the previous round of the Primeira Liga. Their team was seen as a clear favourite but did little to justify such a tag. The first 45 minutes brought a mundane stalemate before the visiting side pulled a shock.

The fact that they’re playing at Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica (da Luz) is a boost to Benfica. They’ve thrived in their recent home games, managing to score more than 5 times over the previous

Sporting Braga’s defensive line has been a source of frustration for their fans in recent outings. Their previous 3 home games were marked by 7 conceded goals, and betting predictions are suggesting Over markets.

The hosts’ supporters are hoping that they’ll move up from their current spot in the standings. Though number 3rd is not bad, the betting odds on this match indicate a strong shot at earning another 3.

Benfica have a relatively recent victory on record against Sporting Braga. It happened last season, but they managed to secure a hefty goal difference as well. With that in mind, their position as the favourites in this matchup makes a lot of sense.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
