Braga host Benfica in the Liga Portugal on 17 December 2023, Sunday. Get our free predictions, betting tips, odds insights, team form guide & H2H stats for this clash. This fixture is scheduled to kicks off at 20:30 UK Time.
With only two points separating the top four teams in the table, Portuguese Primeira Liga is currently one of the most interesting European leagues to follow.
To make things super spicy, these four teams will come across each other in two big derbies on Sunday and Monday respectively.
The first one on schedule is the clash between Braga and Benfica on Sunday evening at Estadio Municipal de Braga.
The hosts will go into the tie in higher spirits after winning four consecutive Primeira Liga ties. They have bagged at least three goals in four of the last five league matches and they boast division’s best scoring record with 36 goals in 13 matches.
The most recent of their successes came last Friday when Braga dispatched Vizela 3-1 on the road with a brace from the division’s top scorer Simon Banza.
Banza has 13 goals in 13 appearances in this term of Primeira Liga and he will no doubts be the main threat to Benfica’s goal on Sunday.
The visitors, on the other side, enter this after two successive slip-ups against Moreirense and Farense. The fact his team drew in three of the last five domestic league games is certainly worrying for German manager Roger Schmidt.
On a positive note, Benfica pulled off a huge 3-1 win over Salzburg on Tuesday evening in Austria to secure the third place in their respective UEFA Champions League group and the continuation of their continental adventures in the spring. Braga did the same despite a 0-2 loss to Napoli in mid-week.
Latest Meetings
The home court advantage has played a big role in the history of this matchup as each of the previous six H2H clashes between these rivals ended in home wins.
Braga won each of the last four home encounters with Benfica.
We’ve seen goals at both ends in three of the last five head to head matches between these counterparts.
The Verdict
Estadio Municipal de Braga has been a tough place to visit for Benfica in recent years. Braga are flying high with the best attacking record in the division and a run of four successive league wins going into this tie.
We’ll take the 1.57 odds offered for Braga to win or draw while you can alternatively shoot for the Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score pick at the 1.90 odds.
