Real Madrid Sporting Braga betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 3^rd position, with 3 points won, after 1 win and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have won an away match against FC Union Berlin by (2‑3). In the last round, they have lost a home match against Real Madrid by (1‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 35 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got a home win against Portimonense by (6‑1). In the last 10 away matches Braga has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 7 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 18 of the last 25 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times but have turned the score around in 3. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 13 of their 30 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Braga comes for this match very motivated after a 6-1 home defeat against Portimonense: Ricardo Horta, Al-Musrati, Álvaro Djaló and Simon Banza scored the winning goals. The visiting team usually plays in a 4-3-3, favoring a more leisurely style of play. In this tactical formation, the three players responsible for launching panic in the opposing area are Bruma, Álvaro Djaló and Simon Banza. André Horta is the team's brain, and this player is responsible for defining and leading the Portuguese team's offensive attacks. Coach Artur Jorge should not be able to count on right-back Víctor Gómez as he is currently recovering from a muscle injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Matheus, Cristian Borja, José Fonte, Victor Gómez Perea, Sikou Niakate, João Moutinho, Rodrigo Zalazar Martínez, Vitor Carvalho, Bruma, Ricardo Horta, Álvaro Dias Fernandes.
Coach: R. Gomes Duarte.
