SC Braga vs Nacional Madeira Prediction & Betting Tips - Taca de Portugal
by Devesh Jaganath | in Football Predictions
Braga will be looking to confirm their place in the Taca de Portugal final when they take on Nacional in the second leg semi-final on Tuesday evening. The hosts have already set one foot in the final, carrying a massive 5-0 lead into this match, and look set to take on the winners of Porto v Familicao at the National Sports Center of Jamor on June 4th. The hosts are in sensational form and come into this match unbeaten in their last eight matches in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in their last three matches. Braga knocked out the tournament favourites, Benifica, in the last round of this competition, which followed wins over Vitoria Guimaraes and Moreirense in the earlier rounds. In the first leg, Braga dominated the game from the very first whistle, taking the lead within the first 25 minutes, and never looked back from then. Racic, Banza, and Pizzi all got on the scoresheet, with the former two bagging a brace each. Coming up against a side that is on the verge of relegation in the Segunda Liga, Braga will be expecting to make light work of this opponent, and it will take something truly incredible for them not to make it through from the position they are in.
As for Nacional, their fairy-tale run in this competition looks set to come to an end in this one. The visitors were outclassed in the first leg, and despite showing real character, they were never really able to engineer many clear-cut chances that would have given them hope in this one. Nacional are one place above the relegation playoff spot in the Segunda Liga and come into this one riding a seven-match winless run, including five losses and two draws. To add to the negative outlook, Nacional has failed to score a single goal in their last six matches in all competitions while conceding a whopping 17 goals in that time. The last time the visitors found the back of the net was over a month ago against Trofense at the start of March 2023. Nacional have lost their last seven matches against this opponent, outscored 25-4 in that period, and based on their current form, the visitors may be in for another defeat by a big margin.
