Match preview

Our model sees little between the sides: SC Braga 34%, the draw 26%, Sporting CP 39%.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 2.56 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.6 goals in total (1.24 for SC Braga, 1.34 for Sporting CP), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

SC Braga sit 8th on 14 points; Sporting CP are 3rd on 21.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
