The Dos And The Don’ts Of Placing An Accumulator Bet

3y ago

Braga will seek to draw level with FC Porto on points by securing a win while Porto will be aiming to remain within touching distance of leaders Sporting CP – who have opened up a six-point lead at the top – and increase their lead over the ArchBishops to 6 points.

Both teams are in fairly good form. Braga have won four of their last five league outings, losing once. The Dragons, on the other hand, have won three while having a share of the spoils on the other two occasions.

Braga vs FC Porto Team News

The last season was a fairly successful one for Braga as they ended the campaign in third-place thereby sealing European qualification.
The club have surely started this season on a great note and halfway through the campaign, have already accrued 36 points. They have also been impressive and consistent in finding the net.

With 17 games played, the ArchBishops have netted 30 times almost averaging 2 goals per game. However, they seem to be also consistent in conceding goals having been on the receiving end 16 times so far

Braga, since losing to Pacos Ferreira halfway through January, have been on a winning run of three games scoring seven times while conceding only twice. Head coach Carlos Carvalhal will be expecting his boys to turn up the heat on Porto in this crucial title challenge.

FC Porto had a very successful league campaign last time out, winning the Primera Liga by five points ahead of fiercest rivals SL Benfica.
The Dragons have also started well this season, securing 39 points in 17 games. However, their efforts are not enough as they are trailing leaders Sporting CP by six points – a win therefore, is very important to keep hold of their high-flying rivals.

Currently the highest scoring side in the division, Porto have hit the back of the net 39 times already. Their defensive record however, is not good enough for a team that wants to win the league. They have conceded 17 times compared to Sporting CP’s 9.

Porto come into the game on the back of a goalless draw against bottom-half side Belenenses; not for a lack of effort though – Porto recorded 16 shots with 6 on target. The Dragons will want to put some distance between themselves and Braga while inching closer to the top – they will seek to return to winning ways here and what better team to do it against?

Injured or Suspended Players

Braga: Rui Fonte, Francisco Moura and Iuri Medeiros.

The gap can’t get any wider. Braga will most surely seek to close the lead and draw level with Porto.

Both teams have the attacking flair, with Porto having the upper hand in this regard. Defensively, both teams are a bit porous. Therefore, this game should be an exciting one with a lot of attacking endeavor. Expect both sides to hit the target with no less than two goals on the board.
