Our Benfica Lisbon vs SC Braga Prediction
Benfica have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches but have not backed it up with good defence and have conceded two or more in three of the last four. Braga, on the other hand, have scored two or more goals in seven of their last nine but they have no clean sheet in the last seven away matches, and only one in the last 12 away games. We feel this one will yield a lot of goals and we will be backing an over 2.5 goals return here.
