Sporting CP - Sporting Braga predictions

It’s quite easy to predict that Sporting CP will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Sporting CP and the 6.51 odds given to Sporting Braga to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

Sporting CP are coming on the back of an inconclusive match at Estoril, which was a major disappointment for their fans back in Estádio José Alvalade. They were expected to win easily despite the home-field disadvantage but never managed to convincingly pull ahead of the opposition.

With an unexpected defeat at home behind them, Sporting Braga gave a lot to prove in this match. They were considered the clear favourites in that bout against Nacional, and the disappointment was only made greater by the fact that they were already behind at the 45-minute mark.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

Sporting Braga seem to be effective no matter the circumstances. They’ve recorded over 5 goals scored over their previous 3 matches as visitors – a situation in which most teams tend to struggle.

With a solid 2nd position on the Primeira Liga table, Sporting CP are on their way to the Champions League qualification. They still have a long road to get there, though, and will need to keep the momentum going.

Sporting Braga’s only goal this early in the season is to put some more distance between them and the dreaded relegation zone. They’re currently number 7th in the standings, though, with some difficult matchups coming up.

The two teams last met in the previous season when Sporting CP won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

We recommend taking up Pncl’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 1.47. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
