Nacional Sporting Braga betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game is more difficult to analyze, especially in the goals market. Sporting de Braga, with Carlos Carvalhal, is almost always a pragmatic and well-organized team defensively. This was seen against Boavista, where they won (0-1), or against Gil Vicente, with whom they drew (0-0). However, Nacional suffered a thrashing (1-6) against Sporting, and has already proven that it is not a strong team defensively. For all these reasons, the best market will be to bet on Sporting de Braga's victory, as they have the conditions to continue leaving Choupana with the three points, for the 5th consecutive time.

Preview
Nacional and Braga face at Estádio da Madeira, in a match for the 6th round of the Primeira Liga. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 3 wins in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 22‑12‑2023, in a match for the Taça da Liga, Sporting Braga won by (1‑3). The goals of the match were scored by José Gomes (62' ), for Nacional, and by Sikou Niakaté (24' ), João Moutinho (16' ) and Ricardo Horta (44' ), for Braga. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Nacional

The home team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 4 points won, after 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Farense, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Estoril, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 35 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Nacional has won 7, tied 2 and lost 1. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 20 of the last 21 have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Nacional da Madeira are right on the "water line". With only 4 points and only 1 point ahead of Arouca, who are the first team in the relegation zone, Nacional urgently need a win. The island team come into this 6th round after a 1-0 defeat at Estoril. A game in which the team led by Tiago Margarido had hopes of a better result, since Estoril are not going through a good moment. However, they ended up losing, having lost their 3rd defeat in the last 4 rounds, which could start to cause some concern for the team's managers. Therefore, it was important for Nacional to get back to winning ways in this 6th round. However, their opponent is Sporting de Braga, who have "wounded their pride" after having lost the Minho derby against their eternal rival - Vitória de Guimarães.

Confirmed Lineup: Lucas França, José Manuel, José Vitor Lima Cardoso, Gustavo García, Léo Santos, Daniel Penha, M. dos Santos Dias, Luís Esteves, Miguel Baeza, Tiago Reis, Arvin Appiah.
Coach: F. Nunes Cândido.
