Sporting Braga - Nacional predictions

Best bookmaker online do not see past Sporting Braga in this game and we wholeheartedly agree. The betting odds work largely in their favour and there is a good reason for it. Nacional will have extremely difficult time running away with anything from this match.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Sporting Braga and the fact that Nacional are given 6.30 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Sporting Braga will surely have been pleased with a Vitória Guimarães draw from the previous trip in the Primeira Liga. They return home for the Friday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

Primeira Liga betting odds described the away team’s previous engagement as a rather close call, so it’s no surprise that it ended with a draw. The outcome is far from great news for Nacional, though, who were hoping that the home-field advantage will be enough to allow them to overcome the opposition.

The previous 3 times we saw Sporting Braga play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

The away team’s home game record shows a high rate of goal scoring – more than 5 in the previous 3 matches, to be precise. Although they don’t have the advantage of a home game in this showdown, their attackers are still determined to do well against Sporting Braga.

With a favourable matchup like this, Sporting Braga seem likely to earn some points towards moving up on the Primeira Liga table. They’ll need another 2 points to move up to a Europa League qualifying spot, though.

According to the recent head-to-head records, Sporting Braga already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 1.49 odds on a home win.

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

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.
