Benfica Lisbon vs SC Braga Prediction & Betting Tips - Portugal League Cup
by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions
xFor the second time in a week, SC Braga and Benfica will face off, this time in the League Cup semis. With two straight losses in the league, Benfica will be happy to drop league engagements for now. Below we have the preview and a prediction of the match.
This match, played in Leiria will give Benfica hope, having lost at home last time out. With two straight losses ahead of this match, they will be keen on bouncing back.
Before their loss to Braga last time out, Benfica had claimed four straight wins in this fixture. They have seven wins in their last 11 matches.
Braga’s win over Benfica in their last outing has the potential to inject a good run into their season. They’ve had good pockets in the season but have also grappled with inconsistency. On four different occasions Braga won at least three times in a row.
However, coming here, they come here having managed just two wins in the last six matches. They kept just one clean sheet in the six matches.
Os Arsenalistas have done well away from home and will be confident coming here. In the last eight away matches, they lost just once. In the League Cup, they haven't done this well on the road, losing three of their last five matches.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs SC Braga Prediction
Braga may be doing well away from home this season, but they will have to do some more here. Coming from that away win at Benfica, their opponents will come here fired up for revenge. Benfica have dominated this matchup and will be favorites to return to winning ways after two tough outings.
Braga’s away run in this competition will not help them a lot either. They have three losses in the last five away matches in the League Cup. Our prediction for Benfica v Braga is: Benfica wins the match.
