Santa Clara vs Braga – Predictions, Odds, & Best Betting Tips

Santa Clara lost 1-0 at the hands of Gil Vicente as the Primeira Liga returned to action for the team. Sporting Braga produced one of their most impressive performances to get a 3-0 success over table leaders Benfica.

Win for Braga

Braga head into the encounter with plenty of momentum built up by the recent victory over Benfica. It has quickly overcome the thrashing received at the hands of Sporting CP in the Taca da Liga. The victory over Benfica also means that Braga have picked up four wins in the last five games. Braga will be very hard to stop on this kind of momentum. Santa Clara’s struggles are likely to be exposed even further in this game.

Total goals under 2.5

Braga come into the match after having witnessed over 2.5 goals in back-to-back games against the top opponents. Meanwhile, Braga will be one of the best teams to expect a clean sheet in this current scenario given that Santa Clara have not been failing to score in a lot of matches. It will be quite a huge effort to dislodge Braga in the final third.

Both teams to score – no

Santa Clara have not kept a clean sheet in six consecutive matches in all competitions. The fear will be shifting towards Braga who have been doing exceptionally well in the last two matches. In the case of tight matches, Braga may end up getting a clean sheet in the fixture. This is quite an attractive market as a result.

Santa Clara vs Braga: Primeira Liga Preview and Team News

Santa Clara

Santa Clara last picked up a victory against Braga back in September 2020. The recent form of Santa Clara has been so poor that it would not be a big surprise to see the team continue with their winless record in this fixture. Santa Clara manager Mario Silva has Bruno Jordao, Costinha, and Tomás Domingos unavailable because of injuries.

Braga

Braga will be able to enjoy a remarkable improvement in momentum following the big win over Benfica. Incredibly, it comes just a day after the inexplicable collapse from Braga in the match against Sporting CP. There are no major injury problems for Braga apart from Sikou Niakate. This should represent enough flexibility for Braga who have almost reached a very difficult journey.
