S.C. Braga welcome the visitors CD Santa Clara in the Portuguese Primeira Liga – Round 19. The match will be held on Tuesday, January 29th, at the Estadio Municipal de Braga (Braga).
S.C. Braga are running on their ordinary schedule and even little ahead of it. Normally, the team find themselves in the bottom of top-four, behind the three Portuguese heavyweights. Now the hosts are third, being chased by Sporting CP. In the new year, Braga held four league matches of which they won three, and only on their travel to Portimonense, they attained just one point.

The Primeira newcomers CD Santa Clara have made a fuss right upon their arrival. They drawed against Braga at home, won Moreirense out, and presently take the tenth line in the standings. As far as the team’s outings are concerned – notably, fourteen of their total twenty-one points, Santa Clara picked up away from home. They don’t please their own fans much, losing six hosting matches in a row. A possible excuse is that in three of these, the team faced Sporting, Benfica, and Porto; while in away encounters, they were defeated only twice.
Braga will probably rack up their three points tonight. The winter break did not benefit Santa Clara, the team are not very enthusiastic these days, and they attained a single point in four new year’s rounds, the one coming in the outing as well. Santa Clara’s successful away streak will certainly present a concern for the hosts though – not to the extent that Braga will miss their three points, but they won’t celebrate a hammering this night. Santa Clara have never lost by a margin of over two goals in this league; with the difference of two goals, they conceded only thrice, two of those matches were on their turf. The welcoming Braga have registered just three wins by a margin of over two goals, one of which was at home. We are not sure if the guests manage to take one point from Braga tonight, as they did on their turf, but if they concede, this will be a loss by a minimum margin, featuring two-goal difference at most.
Prediction for the match: CD Santa Clara to win with a +2.0 handicap.
