Vitória Guimarães Sporting Braga betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a great tendency to be open, since Vitória de Guimarães plays at home and Braga is going through a positive phase in the championship. Due to its style of play, Braga is expected to dominate much of the match and create the best opportunities, but the fast transitions of the Victorian set should create several problems for the team from Braga. Given this and also taking into account the defensive failures of the teams, risking in the goals in this game is a good option.

Preview
Vitória Guimarães and Sporting Braga face at Estádio Dom Afonso Henriques, in a match for the 23th round of the Primeira Liga. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 17‑09‑2017, Sporting Braga got a home win by (2‑1). The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 3 and lost 2. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primeira Liga, on 14‑08‑2016, Sporting Braga won by (0‑1). Pedro Santos (15' ) scored the only goal of the match. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Guimarães

The home team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 29 points won, after 9 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Paços de Ferreira, by (3‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Boavista, by (1‑0). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Vitória Guimarães has a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 19 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 22 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Vitória de Guimaraes leaves for this game unmotivated after having added another defeat in the Portuguese championship, this time away from home against Boavista. However, it is important to emphasize that Vitória de Guimarães has been able to enjoy the support of its fans and has won the last two games in its stadium. Without great surprises, coach Pedro Martins should opt for a defensive strategy, looking only for the counterattack. Despite lack of confidence, Vitória de Guimarães should dominate on some occasions and hold good chances to score goals. The Brazilian Raphinha is the great highlight of this set with 13 goals. For this game the coach can not count on the injured Junior Tallo.

Confirmed Lineup: Douglas Jesus, João Aurélio, João Afonso, Pedro Henrique, João Vigário, Rafael Miranda, Alhassan Wakaso, Mattheus, Héldon, Junior Tallo, Fábio Sturgeon.
Coach: Moreno.

Analysis Braga

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 46 points won, after 15 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Porto, by (3‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Vitória Setúbal, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses at their stadium, with 34 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got an away loss against Olympique Marseille by (3‑0). In the last 10 away league matches Sporting Braga has a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 16 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 22 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Braga had in the last game a very complicated clash against Marseille, having lost by an enlightening 3-0. Thus, the life of the bracarense team in the Europa League is much more complicated. However, in the last game for the championship, Braga beat Vitória de Setúbal by 3-1. In this game in the field of the rival, coach Abel Ferreira should play a dominating strategy, benefiting possession of the ball and organized attacks. However, in some moments of the game, should play more directly, looking for the forward Paulinho: this player is the best scorer of Braga in the league with 7 goals scored. For this game the coach can not count on Marafona, Fransergio and Ricardo Ferreira, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Matheus, Marcelo Goiano, Jefferson, Bruno Viana, Raul Silva, Ricardo Esgaio, André Horta, Nikola Vukčević, Ricardo Horta, Dyego Sousa, Wilson Eduardo.
Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.
