Benfica hosts Boavista in round 6 of the Liga Portugal. The match will be played on Monday, September 20th at Estádio Municipal de Braga (Braga)
With rare exceptions, Braga takes fourth place in the final standings of the Primeira Liga. Only in 2020, it managed to climb to the third line, but after that again the usual three grandees pushed the contender beyond the podium. But the Archbishops managed to win the Portuguese Cup. In the new season, the men of Carlos Carvalhal have lost only twice, and both defeats were recorded in the matches against the newly crowned champion, Sporting (once in the Super Cup). Braga earned eight points in the remaining four matches in the local championship. But now the load is added in the form of the Europa League — on Thursday there was a difficult voyage to Belgrade for the match against Crvena Zvezda.

Tondela has been playing in the Portuguese football swamp for a long time. Yes, some 10 years ago it was a representative of the 3rd division. But having overcome the Segunda in three years, the team made its debut in the Primeira Liga in 2015. During this time, the maximum achievement was the 11th place. Even with Pako Ayesteran, a fairly well-known Spanish specialist (he worked with Valencia and Las Palmas), only 36 points were earned in 34 matches in the last draw. Tondela seems to have started the new championship with a confident 3-0 victory over Santa Clara. But it was followed by four defeats in a row.
Braga looks clearly stronger and should gain victory over this opponent on Monday. And we think that this victory will be confident. We recommend betting on the win for Braga with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Braga to win with -1.5 handicap
