Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We're ruling out a bore-draw or a slim 1-0 win here, and instead we're predicting over 1.5 goals. That means that Nice and Braga will score a minimum of two between them during the standard 90 mins. It's a prediction based on form stats for each side, as well as historical records when they go head-to-head. We give it a probability of 78%. The bookies have it available at 1.25.
