Sporting Braga Benfica betting prediction
 Braga |
|  Benfica |
Betting suggestion:
The bet we recommend for this game is the '' Both teams to score - yes ''. Even when playing away from home, it is expected that Benfica dominates the whole game and has the best opportunities to score, since it presents a superior team compared to the opponent of this round. On the other hand, Braga presents some failures in the defensive sector, however, the attack has conceded and scored several goals. In this way, we believe in a game that is very open and fast, making risking in the goals for both sides a good option.

In the last match, they won in a home match against Rio Ave, by (2‑1). 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 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. For the league, Sporting Braga won 24 points out of 27 possible points, after 8 wins and 1 loss in the last 9 home matches.
They have won the last 7 home matches for this competition. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2.
Braga has made a very positive season so far, however, face an opponent of poor quality, since it adds several defeats in a row. It should be noted that the home team arrives in this game motivated due to the four successes in the Portuguese championship. In this home game coach Abel Ferreira should continue to risk in the usual tactical system, that is, the 4-2-3-1, with Ahmed Hassan being the most advanced man on the team. The left wing Fábio Martins is the great highlight of the team in the league with 4 goals and 4 assist. For this game the coach still does not count on Mauro, Marafona, Ricardo Ferreira and Fransérgio, all injured.

Analysis Benfica
The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 40 points won, after 12 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Sporting CP, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Moreirense, by (0‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 32 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Benfica has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 18 points out of 27 possible.
In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 6 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑1 (5 out of 9 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 13 of the last 17 matches for the Primeira Liga, they have reached half‑time in front in 12 of those 13 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 11 of them.
After having been eliminated from the Portuguese Cup, League Cup and European competitions, the championship is all that remains to Benfica. The away team finally managed to return to the triumphs, after three games without winning, defeating Moreirense by (0-2). In this away game, coach Rui Vitória should play in the usual 4-3-3, benefiting ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the runners. However, in some moments of the game the team should act in a more direct way, since Braga enjoys very competent players. The Brazilian Jonas is the top scorer of Benfica and the championship with 20 goals scored. For this game the coach has in doubt Luisão due to physical problems.
