LiontipsBraga - Benfica: betting tip and bets for the Portuguese Championship match (May 17, 2025) from UPU
Command Analysis
Current form
Braga is already habitually ranked fourth in the Portuguese championship, but still has a chance to compete for the third place, which is currently occupied by Porto. The hosts are only three points behind the bronze, so you need to win in the last round and wait for the competitor to misfire. In the last round, Carlos Carvalhal's team made their task much more difficult by losing on the road to Casa Pia (1:2) from the middle of the table. Before that, Famalikan (1:1) and Santa Clara (1:1) failed to beat. Braga won its last victory almost a month ago, over Estoril (2-0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Jonathas Noro will not play due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- The team failed to win in the last three rounds
- The hosts have not lost on their own field for nine matches in a row.
Approximate composition: Gornick - Chissumba, Oliveira, Niakate, Gomez - Racic, Moutinho - Fernandes, Zalazar, Horta - Navarro
Current form
The moment of truth has come for Benfica. The team has an equal number of points with another contender for the championship, Sporting, and on May 17 the teams will play their last matches of the season. The Eagles need to beat Braga, and hope for Sporting's misfire in the duel with Vitoria Guimaraes, since according to additional indicators, it is the white-green ones ahead. In the last round, the contenders for the title played each other, with Benfica playing on their own field, but achieved only a 1-1 draw. It is worth noting that both Benfica and Sporting reached the cup final. The teams will play for this trophy on May 25.
