Estoril - Sporting Braga predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Estoril winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Sporting Braga, which is made quite clear with the 4.59 odds offered for a home win result.

The visiting side should be able to achieve victory in this clash against Estoril. Sporting Braga are favourites to claim three points and at 1.77 betting odds they are a good pick for any sensible punter.

When it comes to Estoril’s previous Primeira Liga clash, the betting odds widely got it right. It was a tight game between two similar teams and an HT/FT Casa Pia draw clearly shows it.

A 0:3 home loss in the last round against Arouca was a hard pill to swallow for Sporting Braga fans. Their team headed into the last match with a favourites’ tag on their back but they stumbled to utter failure in the end.

Estoril gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 6 conceded goals.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

Getting three points on Saturday is crucial for Sporting Braga and their European bid. Sitting 2 points outside the Europa League position, the visitors are eager to give it their best and secure a win.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Sporting Braga already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.61, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
