Rio Ave - Sporting Braga predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Rio Ave 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 4.60 odds offered for a home win result.

The visiting side should be able to achieve victory in this clash against Rio Ave. Sporting Braga are favourites to claim three points and at 1.81 betting odds they are a good pick for any sensible punter.

The hosts returned from their most recent Primeira Liga trip with a point in their bag. Based on the betting odds available, it was always going to be a tight game and Rio Ave can be satisfied with the fact they held level both at the halftime mark and after the full-time whistle.

The visiting side is coming off from a morale-boosting Primeira Liga victory over Estrela Amadora. Truth be told, Sporting Braga had a slower start to the match but did great to earn a comprehensive 3:0 triumph following a drawn-out half.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Sporting Braga. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Sporting Braga have recorded a victory against Rio Ave previously in this Primeira Liga season, though it wasn’t a particularly convincing one. Still, they’re the favourites despite going into an away game, and their supporters are hoping for another 3 points.

We can look forward to an exciting game as both teams have their full lineups available, thanks to no suspensions or injuries.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 4.47 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
