Braga vs Gil Vicente Predictions

• Braga have conceded six goals across their last two matches
• Gil Vicente have generated 9.9 xG across their seven games so far
• Braga have scored in each of their six home matches this season

Can Braga get a boost?

Braga have had a rough first week back following the international break, losing 3-1 to Sporting Lisbon and 3-0 at Copenhagen. They have a chance to bounce back in Monday’s home clash with Gil Vicente.

However, the visitors have scored in three straight Primeira Liga games, including a 3-1 defeat at Benfica last month, and they can cause problems here.

The two teams are side-by-side in the standings, and they’re also quite evenly matched in terms of underlying numbers. They’ve each underperformed against their Expected Goals tallies so far, generating 9.5 and 9.9 xG respectively.

That ability to create chances is a positive, and it makes BTTS worth taking here at odds-against. Braga crumbled late on against Sporting before another awful showing in Denmark, but they’ve at least scored in all six of their home matches this term.

The visitors have only suffered two defeats in their first seven matches, and they should be able to secure a point against a Braga side that has won once in five matches.
