Santa Clara - Sporting Braga betting tips and odds

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Santa Clara 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 4.80 odds offered for a home win result.

The most likely outcome of this match is Sporting Braga walking away with three more points. That said, both a draw and a home win are still on the table, though both are relatively risky propositions.

Santa Clara’s latest outing at Marítimo ended in a narrow 1:2 win. The first half performance was rather mediocre, but they pulled through in the end.

Sporting Braga barely managed to avoid a loss in their previous home game. Their opponents, Porto, were seen as hard favourites in that matchup and snatched an early lead. Luckily, Sporting Braga equalized, and the game ended 2:2.

Santa Clara will be looking to extend their current streak. They’ve recently recorded more than 7 consecutive games in which they’ve scored at least once.

Sporting Braga netted 8 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

Sporting Braga need to earn 11 point to reach the top-placed team. They’re still in the runnings for the title, and a win at Santa Clara would do wonders for their prospects this season.

Sporting Braga already showed us that they can occasionally stumble. Their most recent clash with Santa Clara, which happened earlier in the season, ended in a loss despite most bookies seeing them as the favourites.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.00 if you use the bet365 sportsbook.
