Braga vs Famalicao Betting Tips - Over 2.5 goals

Braga turn their attention back to the Primeira Liga on Monday evening after a disappointing defeat against Roma in the Conference League last Thursday. Reduced to ten men following the dismissal of Matheus, Carlos Carvahal´s side succumbed to a 3:0 defeat at the Olimpico.

Domestically, Braga have been in better form with three wins and just one defeat recorded from their last five Primeira Liga outings, including a 2:2 draw with Estoril last weekend. Placed fifth in the division, Carvahal´s men find themselves nine points behind league leaders Sporting after 13 games played. 

High-scoring outcomes have been relatively frequent for the home side. Six of their last nine matches, including four of their last six at Estádio Municipal de Braga have seen over 2.5 goals scored.

Famalicao makes the trip to Braga winless in their last four matches, however they did claim a decent point in their most recent match against Porto. Currently eighth in the division, Ricardo Silvá´s side have struggled to turn draws into victories this season with six of their last ten games finishing deadlocked.

On the road, Familicao can usually be relied upon to get on the scoresheet. The visitors failed to score in just two of their last ten away league matches. Four of their six most recent away fixtures saw a minimum of three goals scored, an outcome that has proven frequent in recent meetings between these sides.

Indeed, each of the last seven meetings between these sides since 2019 saw over 2.5 goals netted, and a similar outcome seems likely on Monday.

I'm putting my money on over 2.5 goals scored in what should prove a competitive contest at the Estádio Municipal de Braga.
