Estrela da Amadora
PortugalCurrent form
For objective reasons, Estrela was unable to set more ambitious goals than maintaining their place in the Primeira Liga – Luis Silva’s team coped with their task in the first round.

Braga
PortugalCurrent form
Braga hardly had a chance to fight for a ticket to the Champions League, Sporting, Benfica and Porto have a serious advantage in class, but at the same time the gunsmiths are quite capable of counting on the fourth line. At the moment, Carlos Carvalhal team occupies the fourth place in the table and is already nine points behind the third Porto, Santa Clara is seriously pressing from below, which is behind only due to additional indicators. This week, Braga secured a place in the quarterfinals of the Portuguese Cup, beating Lusitano 2:1 at home.

1.47Tip and bets
Braga is already seriously behind Porto, but this is not the main problem yet - Sanat Clara is seriously pressing from below and there is a risk of losing the fourth line again. It is obvious that the gunners will be maximally motivated today and charged only for victory, the guests have every chance to take three points - Estrela is far from optimal form, the hosts are seriously inferior in class and do not have many options for rotation, and in the last six face-to-face meetings the Canaries have not beaten their opponents.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Braga . This bet is offered with odds of 2.19
Bet on total
Braga will certainly strive only for victory and will probably unleash a flurry of attacks on the hosts' goal from the first minutes. Estrela is not particularly reliable in defense and it is unlikely that there is a chance to play to zero against such an opponent. At home, the Canaries play openly and will probably also take risks today, the hosts are solving their problems in the championship and are in dire need of points, they are quite capable of responding with one goal, especially since Braga is also not perfect at their goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.75
Bet on corners
Braga are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking - the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-1) on corners for Braga. This bet is offered for 1.61
