• Braga have lost one of their last seven home matches in the Primeira Liga.
• FC Vizela are currently on a four-match winless run when playing away in the Primeira Liga.
• Braga averages 1.93 goals per game when playing at home, and FC Vizela averages 0.93 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 8 meetings, Braga have won 7 times, FC Vizela have won 1 time, and there have been 0 draws, with the goal difference being 22-7 in favor of Braga.

Braga displayed a bit of vulnerability in their match against FC Arouca, suffering a home defeat nearly two weeks ago. While this setback might be understandable following the departure of longtime manager Artur Jorge, they showed signs of recovery in their most recent encounter against Estoril Praia, returning to winning ways. 

We expect Os Arsenalistas to secure their second consecutive league victory, a feat that should come easily given their dominance in this fixture. However, we anticipate backing them to secure a halftime lead. This seems to be the only safe bet considering their unattractive odds in the full-time market.

• Half-time Result - Braga for 1.66
• Total - Over 3 for 1.71
• Both Teams To Score - No for 1.80
