LiontipsLeixoes vs Braga. Prediction and bets on the Portuguese Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
"Leixões" plays in the Second League of Portugal and plays matches with varying success. After 11 rounds played, they are in fifth place in the standings. In the Portuguese Cup in the last round, they managed to beat "Alcains" with a minimum score of 2:1. If the hosts also play against the upcoming opponent, then it will be very problematic to advance to the next round of the tournament.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leixões have won their last four home games
- The hosts have conceded in four of their last five meetings
Probable line-up: Daniel - Simao, Santos, Basto, Oliveira - Fabinho, Alhassan, Andre - Paulite, Valente, Verton.
Current form
Braga plays on three fronts at once: the Portuguese championship, the national cup and the Europa League. In all tournaments, everything is not perfect. In the national championship, the team is not even in the top 3 (fifth place), and in the Europa League it is outside the playoff zone, although so far only by additional indicators. In the cup in the last round, they had to play with Vitoria Guimaraes (2:1). The upcoming opponent is not higher in playing class than the previous vis-à-vis, so the fans are expecting a confident victory.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Braga have gone three away games without a defeat
- The visitors have scored in seven of their last eight matches.
Estimated line-up: Matheus - Niakhate, Oliveira, Ferreira - Fernandes, Carvalho, Moutinho, Martinez - Bruma, El Kouazani, Horta.

1.75Tip and bets
"Leixões" plays quite well on their home field and very rarely loses by two or more goals. It is possible that "Braga" will not field its best lineup for the upcoming match. In this case, the team will not be able to dominate the football field, and we will not see a major victory from them.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Leixoes with odds of 1.60
Bet on total
The history of head-to-head matches at this stadium shows four matches played, and in three of them only one of the clubs scored. We believe that the upcoming match will be played in a similar scenario, and only one team will be able to score in two halves.
Our prediction is that at least one will not score with a coefficient of 1.64
Bet on corners
The game is likely to be a cautious one, with the focus being on defensive play, meaning there is a good chance that there will be a small number of corner flag deliveries.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.68
