Braga look well-placed to extend their excellent run as they host Santa Clara and we predict that they will do so with a routine 3-1 win. The Reds have collected 2.20 points per game overall and an impressive 2.50 PPG at home, winning 83% of their matches on home soil. Their attack is firing at a high level, averaging 3.33 goals per home match and scoring in every league outing so far. With no fresh injury concerns, Artur Jorge’s side should again line up at full strength.
Santa Clara arrive weakened by the suspension of key midfielder Adriano Firmino, a significant blow given their poor away numbers. They have taken just 0.40 points per game on the road, failing to score in 60% of away fixtures while conceding 1.80 goals per away match. Although their home form is respectable, their away struggles combined with the absences make this a tough assignment.
Braga dominate this matchup historically with 10 wins from 16 H2Hs, including 75% of those games producing over 1.5 goals. Therefore, Home Win and Over 1.5 Goals seem like sure betting options with additional value on Braga -1.5 AH.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Monday 15 December 2025 at 18:45.
