Braga – Benfica: tip, prognosis & odds - 04/01/2022 - PORTUGAL: Liga Portugal
 
 
Of course, SC Braga is once again in 4th place in the table. Not too much will happen going forward, you have to be more protective at the moment. Benfica, on the other hand, is 12 points ahead of their opponents in third place. However, they probably don't have a chance of winning the championship anymore. In the battle for second place, however, a win would be extremely important.

Top game in Portugal between Braga and Benfica
 
Once again, SC Braga is in 4th place in the table of the Portuguese league. A better placement is probably not possible this year either, after all they are already 12 points behind their opponents. Nevertheless, they are playing a very good season again, which is also evident in the Europa League where they made it to the quarter-finals. Another team that is causing a sensation, especially internationally, is Benfica. The visitors even made it to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. This is a bit surprising, because things are not going according to plan in the league this year. The championship title is already out of reach and second place will also be difficult to achieve.

SC Braga – can they secure 4th place?
 
SC Braga is having a very good season overall, both nationally and internationally. In the league you will not get better than 4th place again, but that would at least qualify you for the Europa League again. There they are already somewhat surprisingly in the quarterfinals this year. In the duel against the Rangers they even have a good chance of reaching the semi-finals. For the first time, however, the focus is on the league, because if you lose, you could lose 4th place.

In the league you have to find your way back to top form
 
Recently, Braga had to give up a bit in the league, after all they only won one of the last 4 games. After all, this was the last one against Portimonense so far. Overall, you now have a record of 14 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats. With 49 points on the account, they are only 3 points ahead of 5th place. The goal difference is 43:26 goals and is therefore the 4th best in the league. You provide both the 4th best offense and the 4th best defense. They won 7 of their 14 home games, conceding only 11 goals. Currently, however, they have been waiting for a win for 2 home games. Due to the good defense, 8 of the 14 home games ended with less than 2.5 goals.

How strong the team is in an international comparison is shown this year in the Europa League. After an average good group phase, which ended in 2nd place, you could save yourself both through the playoff and through the round of 16. Among other things, they won against the top French club AS Monaco. With only one goal in 4. KO games, the defensive was the great strength here as well.

Benfica Lisbon – good development under the new coach
 
The club did not perform well in the autumn and were not in the championship fight from the start. In December, a coaching change was finally completed. Under Nelson Verissimo, the team has made a clear step forward in recent months. They are still third in the league, but second place is still within reach. However, they showed their best performances in the Champions League, where they surprisingly made it to the quarter-finals.

Benfica's form curve has recently been clearly pointing upwards. The team suffered their most recent defeat at the beginning of February against Gil Vicente. They have now been unbeaten in 9 games, of which they have won 6. They are only 6 points behind Sporting Lisbon, who are in second place. The 2nd place is therefore still within reach. In the away game against Braga they are the favorites, after all they have an away record of 10 wins, 2 draws and one loss. With 35 goals, they even have the best offensive of all teams.

With a total of 68 goals, they now have the best offensive in the entire league together with Porto. In 26 of 27 games they were responsible for at least one goal per game. In the last 4 games away, they have always scored at least 2 goals per game. 3 of these last 4 away games could therefore also be won. The defensive, on the other hand, is not always so solid. In the last 8 league games they could only keep the zero once.

Tip and prognosis
 
Braga and Benfica are two absolute top teams in Portugal. However, the guests should be rated a little higher, also because they haven't lost in 9 games. They also won 10 of their 13 away games. With odds of over 2.00, we therefore consider Tip 2 to be a suitable betting recommendation. The guests also have the best offensive in the league, but defensively they struggle. Our bank tip in this game would therefore be "Both teams score YES".
