|  Braga |
Betting suggestion:
Benfica should control the game and dominate possession, as they have a squad superior to the opponent. On the other side, Braga will be very dangerous in the counterattack. It is worthy pointing out that these clubs have great quality in the offensive sector, however, gaps in the backward sector. The last four games between these clubs at this stadium ended with goals in the two goals. Having said that, we believe in a very open game, of great interest to the public, making to risk in the "Both teams score - Yes" market to be of great value.
