Chaves vs Braga Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - March 30, 2023

Chaves vs Braga
Portuguese Primeira Liga
Date: 2 April 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 15:30 UK / 16:30 CET
Venue: Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira (Chaves).

Braga will continue their battle for the top-two finish in Primeira Liga on Sunday afternoon when they visit Estadio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira for the Matchday No 26 clash against Chaves.

The visitors are enjoying a stellar campaign in the top flight of Portuguese football this season. They are only two points below second-placed Porto after 25 rounds of the competition and Champions League football may well become a reality for Artur Jorge and his troops.

The Archbishops have shown strength once again just before the international break when they played an evenly-matched contest against Porto.

It ended in a goalless draw but it is worth mentioning that Braga limited the likes of Porto to just five attempts in total in the 90 minutes of play on the occasion.

Braga now have two wins and a draw in the last three league games without conceding a single goal in the process. They won 10 of 13 Primeira Liga affairs on the road this season and we see them as the clear favorites on Sunday against Chaves.

The hosts are also having a great campaign for their standards, currently holding the 11th position in the league table.

Vitor Campelos’ men will go into this encouraged after back-to-back 2-0 wins over bottom-half sides Portimonense and Estoril.

Nevertheless, the victories against these sides will count for little when Chaves come face to face with the Champions League hopefuls.

Chaves vs Braga Head-to-head

• Braga won 14, drew 1, and lost 4 of the previous 19 clashes against Chaves.
• However, it is worth noting that Chaves stunned Braga 0-1 in the reverse game played in October last year at Estadio Municipal de Braga.
• Three of the last four H2H matches between these outfits ended in a 1-0 scoreline.

Chaves vs Braga Prediction

Braga are in contention for the top-two finish and we can hardly see them dropping the ball in the game against Chaves. The visitors are flying high on both ends of the pitch and we are happy to take the 1.66 odds for their win on Sunday.

Since we saw fewer than two goals in three of the last four head to head games between these rivals and since Chaves did keep back-to-back clean sheets in the previous two league rounds, we will also go with the Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.90 odds.

Chaves vs Braga Betting Tips

• Braga to win @ 1.66 (4/6)

• Under 2.5 goals FT @ 1.90 (9/10) odd.
