Braga vs Tondela Predictions

• Braga have won nine of the last ten meetings.
• Braga have scored three or more goals in three of their last four home matches with Tondela.
• It was 3-1 to Braga when they last met at this venue.

Tondela to get a rude awakening

Tondela are back in the big time following three seasons in the Segunda Division and they are unlikely to get a warm welcome at Braga on Sunday.

The Gold and Greens have a hideous record in this fixture and we predict a comfortable home win for ambitious Braga.

Braga have been in Europa League qualifying for the past two weeks and that should stand them in good stead for this league opener.

Cluj and Levski Sofia have both been defeated by Braga in their last outings and their extra sharpness suggests they can secure a routine win against Tondela.

Tondela have a rotten record in this fixture, losing nine of the last ten match-ups, but they could play their part in a lively encounter.

Braga have scored three or more goals in three of their last four home matches with Tondela, so a 3-1 scoreline looks a likely outcome for correct-score punters, and over 2.5 goals also looks well within reach.

Five of the past seven meetings have featured at least three goals and an open nature is expected of this latest contest.
