Nacional vs Braga Prediction and Betting Tips (20.09.2024)

Command Analysis

Nacional

Portugal

Current form

Nacional has returned to Primeira, but is still having trouble adapting to the elite, sitting only in 15th place in the table after five rounds. Thiago Magarido's team is only two points clear of the relegation zone, and there is a risk of ending up there after the next round. Having lost 0:1 to Estoril in the last match of the championship, Nacional suffered its third defeat in a row.

Disqualifications and injuries

Ulisses is suspended. Joao Aurelio and Djibril Soumare are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Nacional have lost three of their last four matches
Nacional have not beaten Braga in their last 15 matches - 12 defeats and three draws

Tentative line-up : França – Garcia, Leo Santos, Ze Vitor, Gomez – Esteves, Diaz, Pena – Appiah, Reis, Machedo.

Braga

Portugal

Current form

Braga were probably aiming to fight for third place and a ticket to the Europa League, but they have already made several mistakes at the start of the season, being torn between two fronts. At the moment, Carlos Carvalhal's team is in seventh place in the table with eight points and is four points behind third-placed Vitoria. This handicap arose due to a 0:2 defeat to a direct competitor in the last round.

Disqualifications and injuries

Wright Arrey-Mbi is suspended. Bruma and Robson Bambou are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Braga have not won in their last three matches – two draws and a defeat

Tentative lineup : Matheus - Marin, Niakite, Ferreira, Gomez - Carvalho, Horta - Martinez, Horta, Zalazar - El Ouazzani.

Tip and bets

2.37handicap (-1) to Braga

Braga is currently only seventh in the table and will certainly try to improve the situation today by getting three points. The Gunners have a Europa League match against Maccabi Tel Aviv ahead, but the championship match will clearly be given priority, the coach is unlikely to use serious rotation. Nacional is not looking its best yet, it is inferior to its opponent in class, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.

We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on "Braga" . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.37

Bet on total

Braga will undoubtedly play only for victory today – they have already lost a lot of points and there is a risk of falling seriously behind their competitors. It is obvious that the visitors will bet on attack and Nacional have minimal chances to play reliably in defense, the hosts regularly concede. At the same time, the Gunners are not particularly reliable either, Nacional is quite capable of responding with a consolation goal.

Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.79
