Tondela vs Braga Prediction & Betting tips
The strongly relegated kickers of Tondela receive the fourth in the table Braga. The guests have the Europa League for sure, but still squint to third place. This would mean a much more relaxed preparation for the next season, because the exhausting qualification for the continental competition would not have to be played.
After an initially mixed restart, things went better again for the Minhotos: two wins and one draw were achieved in the past three game rounds. Nevertheless, Sporting is still three points away as third, which is why only victories count in the two final rounds.
The same applies to the home side: at the moment, Portimonense and Setubal are tied – but the direct comparison speaks against the Auriverdes. This causes the yellow-green alarm bells to ring very loudly as the second place of descent is taken. For the match in the Estadio Joao Cardoso between Tondela and Braga, however, the tip includes a success of the guests.
Tondela:
Tondela initially made a good restart with a draw at record champions Benfica and a home win against Aves. But the results were wrong. The runners-up were out of shape at the time and the win against Aves was no more than a compulsory win, given that the opponent was completely beaten at the bottom of the table.
Then it set five bankruptcies and only once at least one point was scored against Belenenses. Admittedly, the opponents of the last six rounds with the new champion Porto and Sporting were sometimes difficult tasks.
However, teams from the table cellar such as Ferreira or the one from Belenenses also went against it, which is why the low score can not only be explained with the game plan. Rather, Tondela is already presenting itself as a relegation.
On top of that, the home game character gives little hope: only two of the 16 home games to date have been victorious and with eleven points the last place is taken in this rating. Even the much scolded team from Aves tops this sad result. With eleven goals, Tondela also had the worst home storm.
In view of this poor record, the odds for an away win including a tour of the guests at halftime are also interesting in the match between Tondela and Braga.
On top of this is the fact that the fourth in the table, often from the start, researched abroad: All eight three-pointers were brought under one roof at a break! Furthermore, only Porto has this impressive number!
Braga:
The Braguistas had a bitter draw on the final day. With 1: 1, the team of Coach Custodio separated from Belenenses, despite an oppressive superiority. The storm that had previously presented itself much better, scoring 15 goals in the previous four rounds, was stopped this time with only one goal.
The result wasted a great chance because you could have caught up with Sporting. Nevertheless, it can be said that Braga is acting stronger again towards the end of the season.
After a weak restart with three games without a win, the form curve has been pointing upwards for a long time: the current league cup champion has won ten points from the last five rounds of the game. It seems that the playful approaches of the still quite new coach Custodio are getting better and better among the players of his squad.
The Arcebispos offensive in particular worked very well with the exception of the last game as described. One example is Ricardo Horta. The 25-year-old striker scored on the last four match days.
In parallel, Paulinho is in great shape, which in turn scores in four of the recent five games. He will also be particularly motivated on the two final match days.
With 17 goals, Paulinho currently tops the goalscorer ranking together with Pizzi and Carlos Vinicius from Benfica, which means that a prestigious personal title is still within reach.
