As both Braga and Benfica are eager to grab something from Sunday's Primeira Liga derby, a 1-1 draw is on the cards at Estadio Municipal. The Reds have been in a fine form of late, winning 7 of their last 10, with an average of 2.10 goals per game and conceding just 1.00. Their home performances are particularly solid, scoring 2.50 goals per game and maintaining a 75% win rate. Defender Gustaf Lagerbielke is doubtful, but Victor Gomez should cover effectively, so defensive structure likely remains stable.
The Eagles, meanwhile, are flying on the road, winning all 5 away games in their last 5 with a formidable 3.00 PPG away average. Their defense is stingy, conceding just 0.20 goals per away game, although Tomas Araujo is a major doubt, slightly impacting their depth at the back. Attack remains potent with 2.40 goals per away match. There are no other fresh injury worries in Jose Mourinho's team.
As both sides score consistently, with H2H showing 59% BTTS and high goals averages, Both Teams to Score is our main betting option, alongside Half-Time Draw and Over 4.5 yellow cards.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Sunday 28 December 2025 at 18:00.
