Sporting Braga Rio Ave betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Both teams have been having intense duels in recent seasons, being two of which are most likely to play positively in Portugal. At home and moralized by qualifying in Europe, Braga will look for a triumph that can bring them closer to Sporting, in 4th position, against a more expectant Rio Ave, something that, with Carvalhal, who has already done theoretically harder games such as against Benfica and FC Porto. The good moment of the team of Sá Pinto and the bigger initiative will surely make Braga closer to the desired three points.

Ricardo Horta (28' ) scored for Sporting Braga and Gelson (34' ) for Rio Ave. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

After 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, the home team is in the 9th position, havinf won 15 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Vitória Guimarães by (0‑2), after in the previous match they have tied (2‑2) at home, against Famalicão. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium.

In 11 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Sporting Braga are returning to the championship going through one of the best moments of the season in terms of confidence, as they have met the goals set at the beginning of the season, although in the League the campaign is below expectations. Even so, the victory, in the last matchday, the "minhoto" classic against Vitória de Guimarães (2-0), brought Sá Pinto's group together from European places. After that, Braga secured the qualification for the Portuguese Cup Round of 16 by beating Gil Vicente (1-0), and on Thursday they drew 3-3 in the draw to Wolverhampton in a match that confirmed qualifying for the knockout round of the Europa League. An energetic reaction from the Braga set, which recovered from 1-3 to 3-3 with goals in the second half by Paulinho and Fransérgio, after André Horta opened the count.

In the last match, they won in a home match against Vitória Setúbal, by (1‑0).

In the last round of the championship, the "Vila-Condenses" managed to return to the victories in the championship, also at home, against Vitória de Setúbal, also by the minimum margin (1-0).
