Our calculations are made based on 20-game form, historical head-to-head (H2H) stats and the view of the betting market, and you can go with it at a best price of 1.29.

Goal Statistics

Sporting Braga's defensive record is to be admired, C. Soares da Costa Faria Carvalhal's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Liga NOS matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Estoril makes sense in this context.
