Braga vs Benfica – Tomorrow evening, the Portuguese Primeira Liga resumes play after the international break, with Braga hosting Benfica in the most interesting match of Gameweek 28.

Both teams were victorious in the previous round, defeating Portimonense and Estoril, respectively, by a score of 2-1.

Braga has had a terrible season overall. In the Primeira Liga standings, they are nothing near the top three.

The team managed by Carlos Carvalhal is now in fourth place in the standings, twelve points behind their opponents for tomorrow.

Benfica has also fallen behind leaders Porto, who are 12 points behind them at the top of the table.

The visitors can only hope to catch up to local rival Sporting Lisbon in the race for second place and a spot in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round next summer.

Benfica is currently six points behind Sporting CP, and they cannot afford any slip-ups before the end of the season if they want to compete in the elite continental competition the following year.

When it comes to the Champions League, it’s worth noting that Benfica shocked Ajax in the last 16 round, securing a spot in the quarterfinals against English powerhouse Liverpool.

Braga, meantime, has progressed to the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals after defeating Monaco 3-1 on aggregate in the previous round.

Braga vs Benfica – Betting Analysis

Only two goals have been surrendered in Braga’s past six home games in all competitions. Benfica’s defensive strength was on display in the 0-1 victory over Ajax in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League contest in Amsterdam, and we expect them to do so again here.

At 2.10 odds, the Under 2.5 goals FT is definitely a good bet, and we’ll also go for the draw at 3.60 odds.
