Both teams to score at Braga vs Vitoria Guimaraes 3/4 for Thursday’s Primeira Liga showdown

Competition: Primeira Liga

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 3/4 @ Bet 365

Looking to shore up their spot in the European positions, Braga will host Vitoria Guimaraes from behind closed doors on Thursday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Braga might find themselves still sat in pole positions to secure a top-four finish this season, they are in the midst of a recent rut. In their 27 Primeira Liga matches this season, they have recorded 14 wins, five draws, and eight defeats, scoring 43 and conceding 30 in return. With a points tally of 47, they open the midweek fixtures in fourth and holding a three-point buffer from slipping out of the European positions. However, as for their previous run of results, Braga have failed to win any of their last three Primeira Liga matchups and have also lost two of their last three home matchups across all formats. It should also be noted that three of Braga’s last four Primeira Liga contests on home soil have seen both teams find the net by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, still struggling to pick up maximum points, it appears that Vitoria Guimaraes may have left it too late to mount a serious European charge. In their 27 Primeira Liga matches this season, they have recorded 10 wins, 10 draws, and seven defeats, scoring 44 and conceding 29 in return. With a points tally of 40, they open the midweek fixtures sat in seventh and seven points adrift of Thursday’s hosts and that final European spot. As for their recent run of results, Vitoria have drawn each of their last three Primeira Liga matches on the bounce and are unbeaten in their previous six top-flight contests. It should also be noted that each of their last four appearances have ended with both teams finding the net.
