Command Analysis

Braga

Current form
Braga is traditionally considered the fourth Portuguese team after the three grandees and most often finishes the season in fourth place. At the moment, the hosts are in fourth place, but they plan to compete for medals. The team is only three points behind Porto's third position. If they win, Carlos Carvalhal's team will match their competitors and significantly increase their chances of finishing in the top three. In the last round, the hosts unexpectedly lost to Rio Ave (1:2), and before that they were eliminated from the cup, losing to Benfica (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Siku Niakate, Vitor Carvalho and Rodrigo Zalazar will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- The team lost the last four face-to-face matches to the opponent
- The hosts have won five consecutive home matches.
Approximate composition: Gornik - Gomez, Oliveira, Robson Bambu, Chissumba - Moutinho, Gorbi - Fernandes, Horta, Garbi - Navarro

FC Porto

Current form
Porto last became champion in 2022, and now it occupies only the third place in the Portuguese championship and is six points behind the leading Sporting. They didn't manage to get far in the Europa League either - the team lost to Roma in the 1/16 finals. (1:1, 2:3), therefore, all that remains is to win in the Portuguese Primeira and hope for the misfires of the competitors. Recently, Martin Anselmi's team lost points themselves, having failed to beat Vitoria Guimaraes (1:1) on their own field, but then they managed to improve by winning an away victory over Aroka (2:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Rodrigo Mora, Pepe and Vasco Souza will not play due to injuries. Fabio Vieira will miss the match due to too many yellow cards. The appearance of Marko Grujic on the pitch is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last seven matches, the guests were eliminated.
- The team has scored in each of the last nine matches
Approximate composition: Costa - Perez, Marcano, Otavio - João Mario, Eustaquiu, Varela, Moura - Vieira, Samu, Borges

2.00The bid is the number 2 in the final bill

2.27Tip and bets
The hosts mostly have unsuccessful matches with Porto. In 2024, Braga lost all three head-to-head matches and now it is unlikely that it will be possible to interrupt this series. The guests remain in the race for the championship and will be as energized as possible for this match. The hosts were eliminated from the cup, and then suffered an insulting defeat from Rio Ave in the championship, so the morale of the players is not at its best right now. Let's give preference to the Port in this game.
Our betting tip is Porto's victory in 2.10
Bet on the total
The teams are competing for a place in the top three and will certainly take the face-to-face match seriously. In four of the last five matches between these rivals, the total bet was less, and for sure this time the top clubs in Portugal will not allow defensive failures.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.83
Betting on corners
We believe that the teams in this match will rely on defense, so we are unlikely to get a lot of corners here. It is worth betting on a total of less in this indicator.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.80
