SC Braga vs Rio Ave Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Portugal
by Devesh Jaganath in Liga Portugal Predictions
Sporting Braga will be looking to get into the top four in the Primeira Liga standings this week when they play host to Rio Ave at Estadio Municipal de Braga on Sunday evening. Os Arsenalistas are currently in seventh place with 11 points after six games, while Vilacondenses are 12th with seven points. Check out our match prediction below.
While Braga have made a solid start to the 2024-25 Primeira Liga season, it pales in comparison to Sporting Lisbons’s record this term. Indeed, the Lions are already seven points clear of Braguistas just six games in.
Nevertheless, Os Arsenalistas will enter this match with bags of confidence after getting their Europa League campaign started with a 2-1 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in midweek.
The one area that Braga will want to see major improvement, though, will be their home form, having split their first three league games this season one win, one draw and a loss.
When these two met last, it ended in a goalless draw which extended Braga’s unbeaten record against this opponent to six in a row, including four wins and two draws.
Meanwhile, after feeling the wrath of Sporting in the opening week of the campaign, Rio Ave have struggled for consistency. They have won two, lost two and drawn their most recent match 2-2 at home to Estoril.
Notably, all three of Rio Grande’s away league matches this season have ended in defeat, which is in keeping with their dismal form on the road from last term, when they failed to win a single match on their travels.

Our SC Braga vs Rio Ave Prediction
While the hosts have not been at their absolute best this season, they are a very difficult side to beat here at Estadio Municipal de Braga and have an excellent record against this opponent, unbeaten in their last six.
Additionally, given Rio Ave’s dismal away record, having failed to win a match on the road since March 2023, we feel Braga should be coming away from this one with all three points. Our Braga vs Rio Ave prediction: Braga wins!
