Santa Clara Sporting Braga betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Reinforced by the vigorous way in which they subdued the championship leader at home, Braga will try to maintain their good form in the visit to Ponta Delgada, where they will face a Santa Clara team that is highly pressured by the bad results and that, in case of a new defeat, they can even fall into the descent zone. Thus, it is likely that, in a game that is expected to be relatively open, it will be Artur Jorge's team that will have more space to impose their technical-tactical superiority and will end up playing enough to justify the triumph.
