Sporting Braga - Farense predictions

Sporting Braga should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Sunday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.36.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Sporting Braga and the 8.89 odds given to Farense to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

Although Sporting Braga are coming on the back of a harsh 5:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Sporting CP , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Farense didn’t have much hope of winning their previous Primeira Liga engagement – most bookies priced their victory at 2.65. Against all odds, though, they managed to end the bout with a draw thanks to an equaliser in the second half.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Sporting Braga’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

The hosts will be trying to move further up the standings, that much is clear. They’re 5 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot, so this matchup is a great opportunity to close that gap.

On Sunday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

An Under 3.5 Goals bet is an interesting choice for this match. It’s quite safe as you might expect, but the 1 odds offer more in the way of betting value than you would think.
