Abel Ruiz to get a goal anytime
Abel Ruiz has been a key asset for Sporting Braga in the last few weeks. The Spanish forward has been able to enjoy a good run in the first team. He has come up with three goals and two assists in his last three appearances for the club. All three of his goals have come in the matches at the Estádio Municipal de Braga. Even though he played in the midweek, Braga may continue to provide the 22-year-old with more opportunities considering his good form.
Total goals over 2.5
Braga are the second joint top scorers in the league with 36 goals from the 15 matches. They have been defensively astute so far this season but the poor start to the game against Vitoria Guimaraes has left the team in a spot of bother. There is also very less recovery time for Braga coming into the game.
Both teams to score – yes
Braga might be impressive going forward but they have also been struggling at the back. This was aptly demonstrated by conceding two goals against Vitoria Guimaraes. Boavista have had a decent offensive run of late and they can get goals from this match.
