Sporting Braga Sporting CP betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The bet we recommend for this game is for Sporting to score two or more goals. Even when playing away from home, it is expected that the lions dominate the whole game and enjoy the best opportunities to score, since they have a team far superior to the opponent of this journey. On the other hand, Braga is going through a very complicated phase of the season, apart from the fact that they have changed coaches, and in this game must suffer some goals. In this way, we found it interesting to risk the goals for Sporting.

At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 matches.

Analysis Braga

The home team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 51 points won, after 14 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Porto, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Paços de Ferreira, by (3‑1). In the last 10 home league matches Sporting Braga has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 18 points out of 30 possible. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 13 of the last 15 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 30 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The Braga team come for this game with a 3-1 defeat at Paços de Ferreira, adding the second straight game without proving the taste of victory in the competition. Due to the irregular championship and the descent to fifth place in the table, the club decided to hire Abel Ferreira for the coach position. In this home game, the coach should continue to take the usual tactical system, namely 4-5-1, with Rui Fonte as the best man on the team: this player is Braga's best scorer with 10 goals scored. It seems that the coach still does not have Mauro, Wilson Eduardo, Assis and Hassan, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Marafona, Baiano, Lazar Rosić, Marcelo Goiano, Ricardo Ferreira, Rodrigo Battaglia, Nikola Vukčević, Ricardo Horta, Pedro Santos, Nikola Stojiljković, Rui Fonte.
Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.

Analysis Sporting CP

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 64 points won, after 19 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Vitória Setúbal, by (0‑3). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Benfica, by (1‑1). In the last 10 away league matches Sporting CP has a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 20 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 wins in the last away matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 10 of the last 15 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 30 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 3.

Sporting come to this game with a draw by a ball against the big rival Benfica, thus totaling the tenth game without proving the taste of defeat in the Portuguese league: Adrien Silva scored the only goal of the team. At this moment the lions remain five points behind second place, occupied by FC Porto. In this away game, the coach Jorge Jesus should play in the usual 4-4-2, benefiting possession of the ball and organized attacks, especially through the corridors. The Dutch Bas Dost is the best scorer of Sporting and the championship with 28 goals scored. Without major absences, Sporting should enter the field at full strength.

Confirmed Lineup: Rui Patrício, Ezequiel Schelotto, Marvin Zeegelaar, Sebastián Coates, Paulo Oliveira, Adrien Silva, William Carvalho, Bruno César, Gelson Martins, Bas Dost, Alan Ruiz.
Coach: R. Amorim.
