Sporting Braga Santa Clara betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This should be a game dominated most of the time by Braga, who is a team with a very interesting creative capacity and will be able to overcome the well-structured Santa Clarista defense. Still, Santa Clara could create some problems in counterattack to Sá Pinto's team, who have a hard time finishing a game without suffering, by the spaces that provide the opponents. It is expected, therefore, a game with Braga's ascendant, but good chances to finish with some goals.

Analysis Braga

The home team is currently in the 11th position of the league, with 8 points won, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Marítimo, by (2‑2). In the last match, they won in an away match against Portimonense, by (0‑1).

Braga have not made a championship according to their goals, especially due to the lack of defensive effectiveness that the team has been showing during these first three months of competition. As a result, the Minho team are in the middle of the table, although a triumph could put Ricardo Sá Pinto's team closer to the qualifying places for European competition. Since the championship break, Braga have played five games (between national cups and Europa League) and increased to eight straight games without losing. Last Thursday, the Braga side won a great result in Turkey, against Besiktas (2-1), maintaining their excellent season in the Europa League, where they lead Group K. in isolation. 3-1) and Marítimo (2-1), in the Liga Cup, and also against Leça (3-1), in the 3rd round of the Portuguese Cup.

Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 11 points won, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Porto, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Gil Vicente, by (1‑0). 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 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 12 conceded.

Santa Clara continues with an encouraging season, in a season that will be for the team to look for a smooth maintenance and, as it did last year, to solidify its presence among the Portuguese football elite.
