Braga to Win and Over 3.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Braga are strong favourites against Lincoln Red Imps, who provided a shock last time out beating FC Noah on penalties. They should have no issue beating the side from Gibraltar and should do it in some style, with them playing free flowing football. They can score at least four.

Braga to shine in Gibraltarian sun

Lincoln Red Imps punched well above their weight to reach this tie, progressing via a dramatic penalty shootout after finishing level over two legs against FC Noah. Braga, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form, having won their last four matches and easing past CFJ Curj 4-1 on aggregate.

This match looks primed for goals, with Braga’s attacking quality expected to shine through against a much weaker opponent. They’ve scored at least twice in each of their last four outings, conceding in just one, and they appear a class above anything Lincoln have faced so far in the competition.

The Portuguese side are a different level to the Armenian team Lincoln overcame, and they should have no trouble dispatching the Gibraltarian outfit. Braga are likely to dominate from the start, but at odds of around 1/7, a straight win holds little betting value.

A more appealing angle is backing Braga to win and over 3.5 goals in the match, given the gulf in class. While Lincoln have shown grit and resilience, this is by far their toughest assignment. A correct score bet of 4-0 to Braga also looks worth a punt.
