Boavista Sporting Braga betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

A match that has a huge tendency to be open, as the two teams usually act quite offensive in these conditions. Boavista plays at home and aims to add the second followed win in the championship, on the other hand, Braga wants to return to the victories and thus approach to the first. So, and also taking into account the defensive failures of the two teams, to risk in favor of the goals for both sides is a good option.

Preview
Boavista and Sporting Braga face at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI, in a match for the 16th round of the Primeira Liga. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history indicates total balance between these two teams, since there is a record of 2 draws and 1 win for each team in the last 4 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium was on 03‑09‑2017, in a match for the Taça da Liga, Sporting Braga won by (1‑2). The goals of the match were scored by Renato Santos (11' ), for Boavista, and by Fábio Martins (32' ) and Paulinho (80' ), for Sporting Braga. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Sporting Braga presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Boavista

The home team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Sporting CP, by (1‑3). In the last match, they won in an away match against Paços de Ferreira, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 7 home league matches Boavista has a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 21 possible. There are a few recurrent results in their home matches: at half‑time 0‑1 (3 out of 7 matches) and after the 90' 1‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 10 of the last 19 matches have ended ended with Under 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 2.

This is one of the best seasons that Boavista has made since they raised up to this division, and currently, occupies the top of the league table. Surprisingly the checkered team added more points away than in their stadium. We remember that Boavista won an excellent victory in the last played match by beating Paços de Ferreira, away, by 1-2.
 
In this match against Braga, it’s expectable the coach Jorge Simão will play with a team very similar to the last match, with Rochinha being the forward player of the home team. We emphasize the chess players have an excellent quality in the dead balls, aerial play and offensive transition. For this match, the home team’s coach won’t count on Tiago Mesquita, Iván Bulos, Gilson Costa and Renato Santos, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Vagner, Talocha, Stephane Sparagna, Raphael Branco, Robson, Vítor Bruno, Carraça, Fábio Espinho, Rochinha, David Simão, Kuca.
Coach: Petit.

Analysis Braga

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 31 points won, after 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Marítimo, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Belenenses, by (4‑0). 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 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last match, for the Taça da Liga, they got a home tie against Portimonense by (2‑2). In the last 7 away league matches Sporting Braga has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 21 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 7 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 6 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Braga comes for this match after a 2-2 draw against Portimonense, putting an end to their participation in the group stage of the League Cup. We remember the Bracarans aren’t going through a very positive stage of the season, as they added only one victory in the last five matches played. Playing away in the league, Braga no longer conquered a win for two straight matches.
 
In this match against Boavista, the coach Abel Ferreira should play in the usual 4-4-2 privileged ball possession and positional attacks, especially through the right flank: Fábio Martins is a very fast and excellent player in transporting the ball to the attack. We emphasize the visiting team presents enormous competence in the dead balls, finishing and defensive organization. It seems the visiting team’s coach won’t count on the injured Fransérgio and Marafona.

Confirmed Lineup: Matheus, Marcelo Goiano, Jefferson, Ricardo Ferreira, Bruno Viana, Ricardo Esgaio, Danilo, Nikola Vukčević, Ricardo Horta, Koka, Fábio Martins.
Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.
