Benfica Form

On April 29th Benfica claimed a 2:0 win against Gil Vicente away from home in a Primeira Liga encounter. The outfit is on a streak of two successive victories and has been undefeatable for the period of their last three games. The chants of the home supporters did not affect the outcome in Benfica’s latest 10 matches as they ended in 4 home wins and 5 away wins. Out of the outfit’s latest 10 clashes, 1 finished without a winner and in a draw. One of the last five Benfica encounters produced over 2.5 goals and one witnessed goals at both ends. Within this timeframe the Eagles were able to keep two clean sheets, and the team failed to score a goal in two matches. Judging by the numbers, the team’s preceding 5 encounters saw an average of 2.40 goals.

Sporting Braga Form

Sporting Braga previously faced Portimonense on Saturday and the final score was a 4:1 victory at home. The club is currently unbeaten in ten games, recording two draws and eight wins in the process. Playing at home turned out to be of little help across the ten previous Sporting Braga games as the hosting party recorded 4 victories and the travelling sides registered 4 triumphs. Just two of those last 10 clashes were draws. When we take a look at the last five encounters of the team, we see that three ended with more than 2.5 goals, with two having the two involved sides scoring. Sporting Braga managed to keep three clean sheets and scored at least one goal in all five matches. The total goals scored across the team’s last five meetings amounts to 16.
