LiontipsBraga vs Estrela. Prediction and bets on the match of the Portuguese championship
Command Analysis
Due to participation in the Europa League qualification, Braga somewhat accelerated its preparation for the season and has already managed to play not only seven friendly matches, but also official matches. At the start of the Eurocup qualification, there were no difficulties with Maccabi Petah Tikva - victories 2:0 and 5:0, respectively. However, in the home match against Servette, they were unable to open up the opponent's well-organized defense even once (0:0), and the " gunners " made only two shots on target.
"Estrela" in the past season quite expectedly fought for survival and eventually finished in the saving 14th place. Then it managed to achieve an important victory in the final round over "Gil Vicente" (1:0). In preparation for the start of the new championship " Estrela " played five friendly sparring matches, in which it won four times. It is worth noting the victory over the representative of the English Premier League "Brentford" (3:1).

Last season, Braga beat Estrela twice without any problems, with a two- and three-goal advantage. The balance of power in this pair has not changed since then, and the Gunners were forced to speed up their preparations for the season due to their participation in the Europa League qualification, and are currently in good playing shape. We believe that the favorite will secure a convincing victory today.
Our prediction is a victory for Braga with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.67
Bet on total
In two head-to-head matches last season, the opponents did not score at least three goals. We do not think that the defense of "Estrela" will withstand the onslaught of a superior opponent today.
Second bet - total over 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the first half
On its home field, Braga will clearly try to show its advantage from the first minutes. Estrela is not particularly reliable in defense and is unlikely to withstand the initial onslaught of the Gunners.
Prediction: Braga wins in the first half with odds of 1.85
