Visitors can impress on the road again

Benfica have been successful on 13 of their last 15 Primeira Liga away days and they can pick up where they left off when they visit Braga at Estadio Municipal de Braga on Sunday. They are currently on a three-game winning run away from home.

They are two places above Braga in the table, with ten more points, and both teams have won more games than they’ve lost this season. Benfica, third, have won ten and lost none of their 15 games, while Braga sit fifth with seven wins and four defeats.

Benfica maintained their winning habit with a 1-0 victory over Famalicao last Monday, thanks to a penalty goal from Vangelis Pavlidis in the 34th minute. Benfica have now won nine of the 12 games in which they’ve scored first this season (75%), and they had chances to beat Famalicao by more than the one-goal margin.

Benfica have been impressive defensively away from home this season, conceding just two goals in seven Primeira Liga games – an average of 0.29 goals per game. They have kept five clean sheets in their last seven on the road.

The visitors will be wary of Benfica’s potent attack. They have scored three goals or more in five of their 15 Primeira Liga games this season, and have netted in 47 of their last 50 league matches. They are currently on a run of seven consecutive games with a goal, which includes a 5-0 win over Arouca in October.

There’s a lot to like about Benfica’s recent results. They have won five of their last seven Primeira Liga matches and are unbeaten in their seven away games this season.

Benfica remain unbeaten after 15 Primeira Liga games this season, their last defeat coming in January, a 2-1 loss to Casa Pia.

A 2-1 away win for Benfica looks a decent correct-score bet. Nine of their 15 league matches this season have produced three or more goals and, of their ten wins, three were by a 2-1 scoreline. All of Braga’s four Primeira Liga defeats have been by a single goal.
