Braga vs Casa Pia Predictions

Goals Expected as Braga Host Casa Pia

Both teams have scored in a number of Braga’s latest outings and that looks the best bet when they host Casa Pia on Sunday. It’s four Primeira Liga games since Casa Pia last failed to find the net and BTTS was a winning bet by half time when the sides last met in May.

Braga are six places above Casa Pia in the table, but just two points separate the two sides. The hosts are eighth with two wins, four draws and two losses, while Casa Pia are 14th with two wins, two draws and four defeats.

Braga have been beaten in their last two Primeira Liga home matches, but Casa Pia have gone three games without winning. They have enjoyed two successive wins over Braga.

Braga drew 1-1 three weeks ago with an in-form Sporting side who had won three straight Primeira Liga games. Sporting did their scoring in the first half – 100% of the goals that Braga have conceded this season have come before the break – and Braga’s last league game kept up their recent trend of matches with both teams scoring.

Both teams have been struggling defensively. Braga have gone three Primeira Liga home games without keeping a clean sheet, while Casa Pia have failed to keep a shutout in eight of their last ten games.

Braga have scored 12 goals in eight Primeira Liga games this season, while Casa Pia have found the net in their last four league matches, scoring at least twice in two of those.

Both sides have scored in Casa Pia’s last three Primeira Liga matches and in four of Braga’s last six.

Braga may be able to edge out Casa Pia in a closely contested game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick.
