Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Armando Gonçalves Teixeira and Carlos Vicens to batten down the hatches here, but we're certainly not expecting a flood of goals as Santa Clara and Braga go head-to-head. The statistics belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.50 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.

Goal Statistics

CD Santa Clara's defensive record is to be admired, Petit's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Liga NOS games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Sporting Braga makes sense in this context.
