Football – Portugal – Primeira Liga Betting Tips
Sporting Braga’s impressive four-match unbeaten run in the Portuguese Primeira Liga came to an abrupt end in their recent 3-1 loss away at Benfica, but they do have another chance to redeem themselves here, this time at their Estádio Municipal de Braga.
Braga take on Vitoria Setubal who have made a reasonable start to their new season, but Braga remain unbeaten on home turf having drawn 1-1 with Rio Ave and then following that up with a 3-0 win over Boavista to hand them an early home record of 1-1-0 4/1.
Sporting Braga hold a pretty solid record on home soil as they’ve lost just once in their last 13 home matches in the Primeira Liga, and in their last encounter at home to tonight’s visitors Vitoria Setubal, the hosts ran out 3-2 winners.
Onto Vitoria Setubal, and as mentioned, they’ve made a reasonable start to their new Primeira Liga campaign as they’ve lost just once in their first eight league encounters, which was last weekend’s heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Pacos de Ferreira which raised a few eyebrows.
Vitoria sit in 8th place and they remain unbeaten away from home in these early exchanges of the new Portuguese domestic season, gaining points on the road at Benfica in a creditable 1-1 draw along with a 0-0 stalemate at Chaves.
However, dig a bit deeper and you’ll find that Vitoria Setubal have failed to win in each of their last 12 matches on their travels, and a visit to Sporting Braga could make it 13 matches without success.
