Sporting Braga - Porto betting tips and odds

Though Sporting Braga definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Porto are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Porto are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

While Sporting Braga managed to get a 2:1 victory in the last round against Portimonense, it only came after a disappointing first half. This raises some questions about their current form, especially considering the fact the toponline bookmakers saw them as favourites in the previous outing.

Even though Porto were expected to triumph easily in their last Primeira Liga outing, they struggled to put one foot in front of the other and break the deadlock during the first 45 minutes against Belenenses. Ultimately, both sides went home with a single point after a 0:0 draw in an away game for Porto.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Sporting Braga and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Scoring more than 5 times over their past 3 home games, Porto have been playing with remarkable consistency lately. Although they’re the visitors this time, it’s an impressive record.

Sporting Braga are 6 points behind the leading table position, but experts are sceptical about their chances of taking it any time soon. All in all, though, the season will need to last longer before we can start making reliable betting predictions for the final standings.

Porto are near the top of the season’s rankings with a 2nd spot on the table. That marks a satisfying start, but they’ll need to put out a lot more successes before they can call the season a triumph.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Porto 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 reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.
